I thought this was good but my husband who grew up with this stuff didn't think it was quite right. I think the one thing I did wrong was use fruit in light syrup...he's definitely a heavy syrup kind of guy. LOL

YUMMY! I don't like Lime Jello, so I used Strawberry. I also doubled this and put it in a 13x9 glass dish. I didn't have any fruit cocktail, so I used crushed pineapple. I guess I did a lot of substitutions, but it is essentially the same recipe. I'll continue to make this. We served it with ribs and potato salad.

My daughter accidentally put TWO 8-oz. blocks of cream cheese in this and it was heavenly! Will make again.

Very good. I didn't have any peacans on hand so I used walnuts and that seemed to work fine.

I have looked for this recipe for years! I am so pleased that I finally found it. I knew that the recipe I remembered had lime jello and mayonnaise in it, but couldn't remember the details. All the other recipes I've been able to find have cottage cheese in them. While they were nice, they didn't have the tang I was looking for. This recipe is VERY easy to make. Mixing the cream cheese with the jello before adding the water allows the cream cheese to blend in nicely. This would be wonderful with any canned fruit...or without any additions at all. It would be just as good with just the cream cheese, jello, and mayonnaise! The only thing I did differently was to use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
