Browsing thru the recipes at the link (only after after I posted a comment, as per freeper tradition), I looks like the Mormons used the same recipe, a long time back.

For all I know, it may be in a Betty Crocker cookbook, too. I'd bet good money it made mention in "Reader's Digest".

This guy;

might know.

***I need to invite the posters on this thread to my house for a real Pollack meal.***

Can I bring my specialty Ambrosia jello from my mama’s recipies??

To partially set Cherry Jello add...

1 can of drained fruit cocktail.
1 cut up apple.
1 cup pecans
1 cup coconut
Allow to set up, stir and add
1 carton of coolwhip or whipped cream!

I pesonally leave out the apple an add a second cup of pecans.

I’ve been a Mormon for about 16 years and never once have I seen the green jello with shredded carrots! It sounds gross but I’ll give it a try!

Infidel! Moloch will not accept your gelatinous sacrifice without the carrot shavings in it.

Pierogi are Potato Ravioli. ‘Nuff said.

OTOH, how silly would it be to say, “Eh, pasta is still pasta.”

I like green jello with pineapple, cottage cheese/shredded colby or whipped cream and nuts in it....so sue me!

My mother, when I was growing up in Indiana, used to make a lime gelatin salad with finely shredded cabbage and a little minced onion. We would top it with a bit of salad dressing. Really, really good.

Cherry jello, while hot stir in cranberry sauce (with whole cranberries) add/stir in slivered, roasted almonds

Yum!

[T Minus Four]

lemon jello, bananas and pineapple with some sort of cooked whipped topping on it

That sounds delicious too!

Oh my gosh I should have known! I never get on Facebook any more! Anyway, happy, happy day!

Thanks.

Not disputing your general idea, that Italian food is healthier than Polish food, but for the record, here are the longevity records for some of my Polish relatives:

My mother died at 85
One of her sisters died at 85
Another of her sisters died at 93
Her oldest sister died at 95

The two who died in their 80’s were lifetime heavy smokers. The two who died in their 90’s didn’t smoke.

They all ate Polish food regularly.
