Utah's Famous Green Jello

My friend from Philadelphia likes to make fun of me for eating Jello...

I think of her every time I make this one.

I'm not sure where the original recipe came from, but I have modified this to be less of a sugar heart-attack, as well as increasing the fruit.  It is perfect for us, but I will include the original recipe as well.

My alterations are italicized.

Utah's Famous Green Jello

6oz. pkg. lime jello

1 c. boiling water

1/2 c. sugar (I omit this)

2 Tbsp. lemon juice (I use 1 Tbsp.)

1 c. crushed pineapple, undrained (I use 2 c.)

2 c. cool whip

Bring water to a boil.

Put Jello and sugar in a bowl and add boiling water, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.

Add lemon juice and crushed pineapple.

Refrigerate until syrupy.

Fold cool whip into jello.

Place in a 9x13" pan.

Refrigerate for several hours until firm.

Makes 12 servings.
