My aunt Margie from Memphis TN. brought an elaborate version of this to a Thanksgiving 50 years ago. Our family and extended family and friends have been making this and their versions ever since. We add Mandarin Oranges and drained crushed pineapple along w. fresh coconut for holidays. We all cut it down to this simpler version for week day treats.

I have made this for years with many flavor combos. I do like to use sugar-free jello as it seems to dissolve better. I have used Mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple or fruit cocktail and many flavors of jello. To reduce the calories, use low fat cottage cheese, sugar-free jello & fat free Cool Whip.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I have been making it for years. My kids love it too.

I dislike cottage cheese but somehow it becomes very good in this recipe! I also used pineapple chunks and I would recommend it to anyone. It's wonderful!

I made this recipe and added fresh strawberries chopped very fine, I also used strawberry jello with of corse the crushed drained pineapple! Absolutely delicious! Great dish to bring to pass!

I love it, except I used the pineapple chunks and I also used a can of mandarin orange without the liquid and box of Jello orange flavor, my family loved it, will definitely make it often. Thank you for the recipe.

My neighbor told me about this recipe. But it called for sugar free jello. Its great tasting and doesn't taste like diet food. Refreshing for the summer or on a diet. Will be making this always. Its satisfies my craving.
