This is a pretty gelatin mold that Grandma used to make. I think I'll use this for Thanksgiving this year.
3 cups boiling water
2 - 3oz packages of strawberry gelatin
16 oz whipped topping
Pour boiling water into gelatin in a large bowl. Stir until dissolved. Whisk in the whipped topping until well blended. Mixture will not thicken.
Pour into 6-cup gelatin mold (I spray mine with Pam). Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Unmold onto serving platter.
This is pretty because the gelatin and whipped topping sort of split. One layer is lighter than the other. It really looks more difficult to make than it is.

My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.
