I'll try asking my Mother-in-law if she has a recipe similar to what you are talking about. She has a secret jello salad recipe stash she's collected over the years. Once in awhile she will make a Cranberry version. She might have a lime and I'll try to remember to ask her if she might know.

It was fantastic. I have searched for years for the recipe. There wasn't marsmallows or bananas. Would you know how to make this. It was popular in Rantoul, Illinois then.<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710072330051543944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-9471090296211678612020-06-13T13:01:47.208-07:002020-06-13T13:01:47.208-07:00My mom always made it with lime jello, otherwise s...My mom always made it with lime jello, otherwise seems the same.

It's possible to use less liquid it will just be a much firmer jello.

Then the end of the recipe says to pour pineapple mousse on top of jello, cover & put in the fridge for 6 hours-overnight.

I always think it tastes a little tingly on tongue. You could substitute it with anything you like even carbonated water to cut down on the sugar. It's an old recipe that we adore in our house, so we don't change it. It reminds my husband of his Grandmother who passed away a few years back, but you could try anything you want for an alternative.
