G-ma's Lime Jello Recipe #41379
This is my grandma's recipe. We make it and serve it as a salad every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It gets gobbled up much faster than the turkey! Please note that the jello must be set before adding the pineapple. If it is added too early, the acid will inhibit with the gelling process.
