INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lime gelatin
  • 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
  • 1 (3 ounce) package orange gelatin
  • 4 1/2 cups boiling water, divided
  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 (8 ounce) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the crumbs, sugar and butter; press onto the bottom of a 13-in x 9-in. x 2-in. greased pan. Chill. Combine lime gelatin and 1-1/2 cups boiling water; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Pour into an oiled 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pan; chill until very firm. Repeat for strawberry and orange gelatins. Soften the unflavored gelatin in cold water. Boil pineapple juice; stir into unflavored gelatin. Set aside until slightly thickened. Place whipped topping in a large bowl; gently fold in pineapple juice mixture. When flavored gelatins are firm, cut into 1-in. cubes; gently fold into whipped topping mixture. Spoon over crust. Chill for at least 2 hours.

I made this for my mom for Christmas...her grandmother used to make it way back when. My mom loved it - not only because of the memories, but she said it tasted great. (While I'm sure her grandma didn't use Cool Whip, she said it was the same as she remembered!) This was a pretty easy recipe - made it as written - and it was yummy. I would definitely make it again!
