This classic family favorite is a definitely a crowd-pleaser.
Not only has it been requested for every holiday dinner our family has had, it
has also graced numerous church potlucks. As an added bonus, it’s a pretty
healthy jello salad!
I don’t know where my grandmother got the recipe, but she’s
been making it for quite some time.
She obliged, and I am happy to be able to record it for
posterity and pass it on to you today.
With only 6 ingredients (one of them being water), it’s not
that difficult. Just be sure your blender is in good working order!
I kinda guessed on the number of carrots, since this is the
size my grandma uses!
The first step is to dissolve orange jello in boiling water.
While the jello is cooling, chop carrots in the blender with
the juice from the pineapple can and 1 cup of water.
Ahhh, nice and mushy – yay for chopped carrots!
Speaking of chopped, nuts also need to be broken up for even
more texture. We like walnuts!
Then it’s time to add them all to the bowl! Start with the heaviest
– the nuts.
Set the crushed pineapple on top and pour lemon juice over
everything.
Add the chopped carrots.
And finally, pour in the liquid orange jello and stir
everything all together.
This is what it looks like after it’s been refrigerated
overnight.
Seriously, try it today. It is a definite winner. This many
years of enjoyment can’t be wrong.

My Mom used to make this, but I couldn’t remember what fruit she used with the walnuts and carrots. Than you for posting.
