At every family gathering we have PINK STUFF, even thought is isn't always pink. This is always eaten up - usually with the dinner course. People don't want to wait til dessert time because it might be gone by then.


Pink Stuff

1 large can crushed pineapples, drained
1 med. tub of Cool Whip (larger if you like less strong flavor)
1 large tub small curd creamy cottage cheese
1-2 small packages of Jello gelatin - any flavor
(the strawberry and cherry make it pink)
Fruit to compliment jello flavor (optional)

In large bowl, dump the drained pineapples. Sprinkle the jello on top and let sit 1 or 2 minutes, then mix well. Dump cottage cheese in next and stir to combine well. Next add the fruit of your choice and the cool whip. Stir gently to combine well. Refrigerate several hours, or preferrably overnight.

Your jello and fruit are your choice. I use marachino cherries when I make cherry and mandarine oranges when I make orange flavored.

Save your cool whip and cottage cheese containers for the rare occasion that there are any left-overs.

My daughter complained that hers was always runny, and the only thing I do different is sprinkle the jello into the pineapple before mixing - that must activate the gel or something.
