Thanksgiving Jello

November 27, 2012 by Kristin 2 Comments

This recipe is one that my mom has always made our family every Thanksgiving. It is one of our favorite parts of the feast and we look forward to it each year. We call it “Thanksgiving Jello” but truth is, you can make it any day of the year. Its delicious!! I did not get a great picture of it, mainly because I wanted to eat it more than I wanted to take a picture of it, but trust me, you’ll want to try this!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Ingredients:

2 small boxes black cherry jello
2 cups boiling water
1 can crushed pineapple (15oz undrained)
1 can blueberry pie filling

Frosting:

8oz cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
Chopped Nuts (optional)

Directions:

Mix jello with boiling water in a 9×13 glass pan. Add in pineapple and pie filling into the jello mixture and mix in well. Chill to set. While setting, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar together in small bowl. Once jello is set, spread frosting on top and sprinkle nuts on top. Chill in refrigerator until serving!

    HUH! No comments! Well let me be the first then! I make this often, however, I use raspberry or regular cherry jello. We always use a can of berry cranberry sauce, a small can [ undrained] or single serving of mandarin oranges, and mix in walnuts on top as it’s setting. [ As well as the UNDRAINED pineapple and thus, -less then 2 cups of water!]
    It’s a very old Thanksgiving jello ” salad” recipe from the ’50’s! I really like your ” frosting” recipe, which we don’t do. I will have to try it for other desserts! [ Not a sweet eater or baker, really, so this sounds good!] Thanks for sharing this old time recipe! p.s. it is dirt easy to make!
