Instructions:
- Heat pineapple juice (if using canned pineapple, use the juice from the can).
- Dissolve lime Jell-O gelatin in the heated pineapple juice.
- Add cold 7-Up to the mixture and stir gently.
- Refrigerate the mixture until it starts to thicken (but isn’t fully set).
- Fold in Cool Whip (or whipped topping), chopped pecans, and drained crushed pineapple.
- Chill the salad until fully set.
Detailed Instructions:
- Start by heating the pineapple juice in a saucepan until it’s warm, but not boiling.
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the lime Jell-O gelatin in the warm pineapple juice, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Once dissolved, add the cold 7-Up to the mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to cool and start to thicken. This step ensures that the salad sets properly.
- While waiting for the mixture to thicken, prepare the remaining ingredients: chop the pecans and drain the crushed pineapple well.
- Once the Jell-O mixture has thickened but is still pourable, fold in the Cool Whip, chopped pecans, and drained crushed pineapple. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or individual serving cups.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator until it is fully set, typically for a few hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Ensure the pineapple juice is warm enough to dissolve the Jell-O but not too hot to affect the 7-Up.
- Use cold 7-Up straight from the refrigerator to help the salad set faster.
- Chopped maraschino cherries or other tropical fruits can be added for extra flavor and color.
