This Lime Nut Mold is a family tradition. We've been making it for Thanksgiving and Christmas since I was a little girl. My family now prefers it without the nuts, but you can add them if you want! This recipe is especially pretty on the Christmas dinner table, because it's primary colors are green and red!
Lime Nut Mold
1 large or 2 small pkgs. Lime Jell-O
1 tall can Crushed Pineapple
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1 pt (16 oz) sour cream
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Dissolve Jell-O in one cup boiling water. Add pineapple with liquid and mix well. Cool slightly (about 30 min) in fridge. Remove from fridge and add 1 pt sour cream, chopped cherries, and nuts. Stir until the sour cream is dissolved. Pour into a well-greased mold (I use vegetable oil to grease) and chill until firm.
To unmold, run butter knife around the edges of the mold. Dip entire pan into large bowl of warm water, being careful not to let water get into the mold! Place a plate over the mold and turn upside down, removing mold carefully onto the plate.
