  1. I Liked this recipe.It was kinda hum drumb and lacked something until I added some Plain Yogurt. But it might just have been me. Tastes need to be more pronounced for me because of a problem I have from working in a laundry a long long time ago. With my addition I loved the recipe. It is nice to have a jello recipe that is not overly sweet.
     
  2. My Mom was just telling me about this recipe and I didn't remember it from childhood. I was going to post it, but here it is! My Mom said it's nice to serve for brunch or for a luncheon. One of my Mom's Omaha friends gave this to her in the early 1960's. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. My mom used to make this, too, although she doesn't remember the exact measurements. I've made a similar recipe before and it was too firm. This texture was perfect and I liked the addition of cider vinegar. It gives a slight extra tang to the flavors. My mom didn't use pineapple, but I did include some tidbits and it does brighten the taste, too. Thanks so much for posting. I'd looked before and couldn't find one like it. Roxygirl

Currently we live in Florida but hail from Arizona and California, where our heart remains. Our Maltese (Kiehls) is the love of our life and he's a real pistol! I work for fire rescue in administrative support and my husband is a general contractor. We love the outdoors and being close to water (oceans/lakes/rivers); the mountains; the desert; and the tropics. Every place is unique and possesses an inherent and distinct vibe and beauty. Now that we live in this part of the world, we travel to the Caribbean and beyond as much as possible. When we are home, our favorite pass-time is getting together with friends, neighbors, and family for some laughs, great food, wine, and music. Recipezaar is fantastic! Rarely do I use a cookbook anymore! I don't post anything without first preparing it. Collectively we make cooking interesting and a pleasurable experience. Because everyone's tastebuds are different, I won't smack on other people's recipe. We deal with enough negative stuff in life and it's neither necessary 'nor productive for someone to read how much a beloved recipe was disliked. However, constructive comments and suggestions are always welcome. Let's keep this an upbeat experience for everyone!
