Broken Glass Jello - Christmas Eve Tradition

 Broken Glass

"The Nelson’s use this as a salad – a bit of a stretch!" Liz Cowan

1 (3 oz. pkg.) each Jell-O lime, strawberry, and black raspberry flavors

Dissolve each box of Jell-O with 1 ½ cups boiling water.  Let set in the refrigerator overnight.

1 envelope Knox gelatin

¼ cup cold water

1 cup pineapple juice, boiling

2 cups whipping cream, whipped

½ cup sugar

1 t. vanilla

Dissolve Knox gelatin in ¼ cup water.  Add to boiling pineapple juice.  Cool until room temperature.  Whip cream and add sugar and vanilla.  Fold in cooled pineapple mixture.  Cut the Jell-O in cubes.  Fold into cream mixture.

Crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (12 big crackers)

½ cup margarine, melted

¼ cup sugar (optional)

Mix crust ingredients.  Spread all but ¼ cup of the crumbs in a 9x13-inch pan.  Pour the Jell-O mixture carefully over the crumbs.  Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on the top.  Refrigerate 6 hours.  Serves 16-20.

My son Robert Cowan LOVES (basically dessert) & asks for this Jello monthly and I finally delivered, 

and am taking dinner to a neighbor so this will be something new for them to try.

I also split into 2 serving sizes, 9x9 pan for them and a smaller glass sized pan for us!  Manageable eating for a small gathering or feeds a crowd.
