Once Jell-O is ready, add the reserved pineapple juice then use a beater or an emersion blender (works great!)and whip until frothy. Place in refrigerator if the Jell-O needs more time to partially set. Add the mayo, cottage cheese, and walnuts and stir until blended. Meanwhile, drain the pineapple juice into a container and put the pineapple in a bowl. A good way to tell is the presence of a ring of set Jell-O on the bowl when you gently stir it. Stir until Jell-O is completely dissolved and refrigerate until it just starts to set (about 15 to 20 min). Pour water into a bowl (or use the one you heated water in if large enough) and add one box Lime Jell-O Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave or stove until very hot: !/2 to 3/4 cup chopped walnuts depending on your taste Officially the recipe is as follows:ġ sm pkg Lime Jell-O (sugar free or not, either works fine)ġ small can of pineapple ( if you like a little extra pineapple as I do, a lg can will also work)ġ/2 cup Mayo (Not Miracle Whip, tried that once and gross) I omit the evaporated milk and don’ add the pineapple juice until the Jell-O with one cup of water starts to set. The recipe I use is a slight variation from yours. In fact I just put a batch in the fridge. I make it periodically throughout the year. I personally don’t restrict myself to just the holidays either. I always make a double batch even though my mother and I are really the only two that eat it but leftovers are a must for the holidays so I always made plenty. The name stuck and it has been known as Green Glick in our family for well over 35 years.Īfter Nana passed away, I assumed the role of making the Green Glick. I absolutely loved it!! I didn’t know the name of the dish so to be funny, I called it “Green Glick”. Like your husband’s, my grandmother (we called her Nana) made this dish every Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. Thanks if you can point me in the right direction of finding these forgotten yummies my grandma would make. Really pretty & great with turkey sandwich the next day! MY FAVORITE! Do you know what I’m talking about?Īnd another is- she would take fresh cranberries and grind them in the meat grinder (by hand) with oranges and walnuts from our tree and make a relish-salad and on the side would be a mixture of (I think) mayo, Sr cream, sugar and a drop lemon juice? Mixed together and a smidge on top of the relish. She called it: Cherry Berries on a Cloud- the base was a crunchy eggwhite and sugar crust like blob that she baked on a cookie sheet very low then covered with cherry pie filling and fresh strawberries on top and covered with fresh whip cream & more fruit. There are a couple of good ones I can’t find or were written in pencil. I have a hard time getting recipes from her. The tradition and dishes all live on for my children to keep alive and going. She is still alive (94) and passed me the torch with confidence almost 25 years ago when I started my family. My grandmother was an amazing self taught cook & caterer/hostess to all, and even if you’re not hungry…you still went home with a plate for when you get hungry. It’s a summer time lunch on top of really crisp iceberg lettuce. But it’s not just a holiday treat in my family. I agree with your husband on grandma’s green hello salad.
