This is such a simple, but tasty salad to serve at Christmas. I got this from her in 1964. On the index card, it says 2 grapefruit, but I use 3. This has great eye appeal. Ingredients:
3 grapefruits |
1 (3 ounce) package lime jell-o gelatin |
1/2 cup pecans (toasted then cut into medium sized pieces) (optional) |
1 (5 ounce) jar maraschino cherries (halved and drained) |
Directions:
1. Combine package with 3/4 cup boiling water until disolved.
2. Add another 3/4 cup water and stir.
3. Chill until mixture starts to thicken.
4. Meanwhile cut grapefruit in half and remove fruit and any remaining membranes.
5. Remove any membranes from fruit, and break segments in half.
6. Add grapefruit, pecans and cherries to Jello.
7. Fill each half grapefruit with mixture.
8. Congeal, then cut each half in two.
9. Serve each wedge on a small plate on a bed of lettuce to stablize.
