ORANGE-BUTTERMILK CONGEALED SALAD


Congealed salads don’t seem to get the attention they deserve these days.  They were always present, in many different forms at family gatherings and ladies luncheons as I was growing up.  They are especially yummy in the summertime. My recipe today is one I  really think you will enjoy.  It’s refreshing and a great accompaniment to brighten up a meal.  I hope you will try it.

Ingredients:
1 small package orange jello
One 8 ounce can of crushed, canned pineapple, with juice
2 cups buttermilk
6 ounces of Cool Whip
2 cups finely chopped pecans, optional

Instructions:
*Place jello and pineapple (with juice) in a small saucepan.  Stir over low heat until jello dissolves.
*Remove from heat and cool.
*Combine buttermilk and Cool Whip in a mixing bowl.
*Add cooled jello/pineapple mixture to buttermilk mixture and add pecans, if using.
*Pour into pyrex dish or desired mold and refrigerate until set and firm.
*Cut into squares.
