Gelatin Salad (from Glenda)

A few years ago, my family was blessed to spend time with a lovely homeschool family in Minnesota. Glenda fed my entire crowd a delicious meal. We especially enjoyed her gelatin salad. She shared the recipe, which I bring to almost every family gathering.

Glenda's Gelatin Salad

1 big box orange Jello, not sugar free (or two 3 oz. packages)
1 big box cooked vanilla pudding
4 Cups warm water
1 large can Mandarin oranges
4 Cups Cool Whip, thawed

Stir together and boil Jello, pudding, and water for 5 minutes. Cool. Add Mandarin oranges and 4 Cups Cool Whip. Mix until fluffy. Best if allowed to set for 24 hours.

Have you ever tried it with raspberry jello and raspberries? Or strawberry jello and strawberries? Those are quite yummy too.

We had the orange jello for Christmas dinner. My sil made it, from whom I got the recipe.

We tried a version of cherry with maraschino cherries, but we thought that it was too sweet. I'll have to try the strawberry version for Valentine's Day. Do you use fresh strawberries or frozen?

Either would work. If you use frozen, use ones not frozen in a sauce, simply the berries.
