Lime Gelatin Salad I recipe

10 servings

1 cup boiling water

1 (6 ounce) package lime flavored gelatin mix

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over the gelatin mix.

Stir until dissolved, then stir in 1/2 cup pineapple juice.

Refrigerate until thickened but not set, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place crushed pineapple and remaining juice in a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese and lime gelatin until smooth.

Mix in the cooled pineapple.

In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form.

Fold into gelatin mixture.

Fold in chopped nuts.

Pour into a pretty crystal bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
