My Aunt Carole once arrived at our house with this fabulous jello mold. Everybody makes fun of Jello—but everyone loves it. Or, at least, they love THIS jello mold. Or is it jello salad? Maybe mold is the container? And do you really want to eat something called mold? Anyway—that is for a whole 'nother blog. It became our family's go-to jello recipe (if there is such a thing!) for years. Simple and delicious, it is still a big hit at parties and family dinners. When I started making it my kids were too little to eat nuts, so I list nuts as an optional ingredient. It is great, however, with or without nuts! My kids call it "the green jello" and I always think of, and miss, my Aunt Carole, whenever I make it. Enjoy!
