Another recipe I recommend Del Monte fruit cocktail, pineapple, mango, tub of Cool Whip, a brick of cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. Make sure everything’s blended in smooth, then fold in the drained fruit. Best served refrigerated
Do u add all the fruit in the end or just the canned fruit cocktail ? BTW must be awesome ❤
My mom used cottage cheese instead of sour cream. :We called it, "Orange Stuff" It was a huge hit.
We have orange, pink, and green stuff in our family. Lol
We call it "Stuff" too! We even have a slogan for it - "Good stuff, Great stuff, Pink Stuff." (Or green, orange, etc. Lol!)
When we made this in home economics class in high school.Our teacher taught us to make this with cottage cheese
Aren’t mamas smart 😅
Cottage cheese I totally get. Sour cream though, I only use on baked potatoes and mexican food. My mother used to always make a jello salad with Cottage cheese, cool whip, strawberry jello and fruit cocktail. She never added nuts, but I always did.
I just had pistachio fluff! Cool whip,pistachio inst.pudding,crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, you can add pecans if desired. So yummy!!
I have made that for years...sooo good!
I did to, soooooo good!
Its name is Watergate Salad believe it or not 😊
I ADD COCONUT
I also add mandarin oranges, cream cheese, & cottage cheese - no sour cream to Watergate salad. We make it Thanksgiving & Easter.
I made something similar with sugar-free jello and Greek yogurt instead of Cool Whip. Less sugar, more protein. It was great!
Do y know what Jell-O is made from? Look it up, I stopped eating it FOREVER, nasty, the jell is made from animal goods
Oooh thanks for the great idea
I always use the sugar free jello. Taste the same.
Yummy! I would also leave out the marshmallows and add some fruit!
I was just going to ask if Greek yogurt.
I use to make a mandarin orange salad with cottage cheese, cool whip, marshmallows, maraschino cherries, mandarin oranges and orange jello powder.
Now I follow a dairy free lifestyle and boy do I miss some of these salads
Have you ever tried making whipped "cream" out of coconut milk? I just put it in my stand mixer with a little honey or maple syrup (just alone it's great, too, just not sweet). It needs to mix for longer than cream, but it's just as fluffy and delicious. To avoid using gelatin, you can use corn starch.
Me too! Any dairy just about kills me, it just started out of the blue when I was 48, I'm 55 now, and I miss so many wonderful desserts!
@@renastone1270 oh! That's a wonderful idea. I'm going to try that. Can I use a bit of sugar instead of honey?
@@gardener6770 Yes, it works just fine!
@@renastone1270 thank you for info
My mom also added shredded coconut. Just another layer of flavor and texture 😋
Sounds great!
And a jar of cherrie
My mom too...
I'm just gonna say it, chewing on the coconut is like chewing on pieces of leather.
My son-in-law's mother would use cup hot water, dissolve the jello,add small pieces cream cheese,stir,then after cooling add other stuff seems like or something like that. I didn't care for that version. But I did love the pink cranberry fluff version. Use blender or processor to chop raw cranberries fine,add cup sugar and stir in let set,or sugar to taste. Add cool whip and chopped fruit and nuts to taste. Add marshmallows.
I still save the butter containers and different ones to put left overs in. They are great to have when you take food to someone else because let's face it, people are rude and don't return your good food savers containers. It cuts down on being angry with your friends and family. LOL
I do the exact same thing! 😂😂 I do use a marker to label and date the contents cause I hate having to open a half dozen containers to find one thing. 😂🤣😂🤣👍
Me, too!
I go to dallor tree and get a cheap container and tell them they can keep it.
Those empty useable containers are called Hillbilly Tupperware in the South.💜
@The Bewitching Hour, they also make handy jelly/jello moulds (I'm English 😁)
I grew up eating this at my grandparents house. My aunt made it but she’d add coconut also. We called in Heavenly Hash! I need to ask her the exact recipe and make it, it’s been a long time.
Sounds delicious! Post your recipe up 😋
Adorable name! Heavenly hash!❤
My mom used to be the jello salad queen. LOL. This looks good but my favorite is still Green Slime. AKA Watergate Salad.
Do you have that recipe ?
Please post the recipe for your Watergate Salad
Can't believe you dangle the carrot and leave us nothing to go on.
And after 10 months I doubt you're going to come back and post the recipe . ☹️
Lime jello; desolve in 3/4 cup hot water then add 3/4 cup cold water
1 cup marshmallow cream
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup cool whip
1 small can crushed pineapple drained
1 cup chopped pecans
Make the jello (reduced water) and chill till thick but not set. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
This was really popular in the 50s. This version was my mom's recipe
Try this! Peach salad. Chop some peaches into bite size chunks. Mix peach jello one packet into a large container of small curd cottage cheese. Mix with the peach chunks. It’s not only pretty - a pale peach color - but it is easy and so delicious. Refrigerate til chilled - enjoy!I can eat the whole bowl if I’m not careful!
Sounds great!
Thank you, Carol! I'm going to also add this one into my recipes. Sounds delicious! I just miss these salads so much, but when you go to look up AMBROSIA, which is what we used to call it, I could never find it. My grandmother was an AMAZING COOK! She could go into the kitchen and make MAGIC HAPPEN!
She used to have the dessert section cornered as far as I was concerned, this type salad, and sheet cheese cakes, cinnamon rolls... oh save me! She used to make me my own personal blueberry cheesecake when I'd come home from school on the holidays. I miss her so much 💕 OK I'm definitely going to do the PEACH AMBROSIA too!
✨🐇 Happy Easter Bunnies to your home, stay blessed ✨
@@WhiteWolfBlackStar sheet cheesecake sounds like the bomb for company
@@carolsparks7070 OH IT WAS! She would make one for everybody, but I got my own. My grandma was THE BEST!
I don't have that recipe, I lost everything I ever owned in a separation unfortunately. I had saved recipes for decades, created my own bread and pasta recipes, and I had a few of hers tucked away too.
I have no idea how to make it. She had the beautiful bottom crust, the cheese part and covered in blueberries. It was just HEAVEN!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
We just tried this today (Easter 2023) and it is the best! We've made with cottage cheese before, which is good, but sour cream brings it up a notch or two! Try this, you'll ❤it!
My grandma made 'pink stuff', strawberry or raspberry jello, cool whip, cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, and mushmellows.
Now that spring weather has arrived, these recipes are so good.
Never eat Jell-O, help made from animal hooves, look it up
What is the recipe for this???
My mom added strawberries instead of pineapple.
My Mom and favorite aunt saved all those containers also. They have both passed away and recently my cousin and I were talking about our Moms. I laughed and said "Remember how you never knew what the leftovers were until you opened each of the many containers?" She said "Don't joke about that---I do the same thing!" I enjoyed seeing you make this old recipe. I've made it for years and just always called it "Orange Fluffy Stuff".
I’m so old I remember my mom and grandma saved glass jars things came and used them for leftovers.
@@puddytat30141 loo loo no
Great recipe! My Mom did this for holidays for 50 years!
Great presentation!
Love those jello dishes from back in the day. Looks delicious.
Jel in jello is made from animal hooves look it up
I made a very similar salad back in the mid 1970's. I didn't use any jello or cool whip. I put fresh oranges that had been sectioned to remove the tough membrane. It had several oranges in it. I put the sour cream and pineapple and some coconut and the marshmallows. It was yummy. I think that plain or vanilla yoghurt would be good substitutes for sour cream. Cottage cheese would be a good choice if it was pureed in a blender.
Good for y on the Jell-O, the jell in jello is made from animal hooves, look it up, for real people
I had the “moldy green salad “ long ago when I visited my brother and his wife. It was fabulous and I have loved lime ever since. I will buy mandarins fairly often as it is an easy snack for my late husband and my grandkids. Every one knows the rule in my house that you do not throw away your citrus peels and you wash the fruit before you peel it. I keep a ziplock bag in my freezer for citrus peels and my favorite is mandarin. It is so sweet, with a strong orange taste and little pith. I use it in orange anything from orange chicken to orange desserts. If you are a cranberry orange muffin fan, black walnut instead of regular walnut and a half or whole mandarin orange peel takes it from good to fantastic! The white pith of the peel is bitter, which is why I prefer mandarin over a naval orange because it has only a very thin layer of pith that doesn’t survive being frozen. But if you are using a peel that has a lot of pith, you can scrape it off with a spoon before or after freezing OR you can grate only the outer layer of the peel before you peel the fruit. I have trouble grating the peel after it has been removed from the fruit so I slice the peel as close to a sliver as I can. If someone has a hack for grating an ‘empty’ peel, I would love to know a better way. My comment has made this seem harder than it is, but I would toss mandarin peel in this salad. Or lime peel in the moldy green salad. Don’t forget grapefruit peel as it has a lovely taste and will complement many desserts. Orange peel is also good with fudge, candied and dipped in any (dark, milk or white chocolate) chocolate. I don’t mean to be rude, making a long comment and suggesting modifications on your recipe. I have wanted this recipe for decades (4?) for so long and I thank you!!!
My neighbor makes candy out of the orange peel
If this is a Vintage Salad, then I guess I’m Vintage 😳😄! Reminds me of my childhood and adulthood, lol… Thanks!
Happy Easter 🙏🏻✝️
I like the way you cook. You don't turn everything into a complicated science project.
This is so much nicer than the fluff recipes that use cottage cheese. Thanks for the recipe!
Connie, thanks for the cottage cheese comment. Think I'll stick with Greg's sour cream method. Wondering if low cal
sour cream will still be tasty. Calorie Counter Boomer.
Thanks Greg, making it tonight for Easter brunch.
I see this being a BIG HIT this summer as a dessert.
OK folks! I just made a Key Lime version of this salad... it was spectacular! I actually didn't measure anything, so I'll just list the ingredients, y'all know the drill LOL! Lime Jello big box, Cool Whip, cottage cheese, sour cream, mandarin oranges drained, fold in the marshmellows at the end, and let sit in the fridge for a few hours.
I was absolutely the happiest camper on the block! ✨😎✨ Louisiana and Florida would be proud 🌊
sounds great, thank you for sharing
Too yummy!! I made the Raspberry Fluff a week ago. Just absolutely delicious and refreshing. Raspberry jello,, fresh raspberries, cottage cheese, cool whip.
I always like seeing these and a big dinner or a potluck as something a little sweet and a little tangy and much lighter than most of the other desserts. My mother in law I think made all the different flavors but she was particularly fond of strawberry banana especially with fresh strawberries
Strawberry banana is my fav jello!! I gotta make this fluff stuff with that flavor jello!!! ❤
My mom made it Seafoam salad! We love that!
You are only the second person who seems to know there is a difference in liquid and solid measurement ! This looks good, I’m going to try it with lime jello and pineapple. Enjoy your videos!
We were taught in 8th grade homemaking in public school!
Both measure volume, not weight, liquid measuring cups have extra space to prevent spilling, solid cups are exact so that you can level off the top to get the right amount. A cup is a cup whether wet or dry.😊
I love lime jello too, Ash!! ❤
My mom made this, but instead of sour cream, she added cottage cheese. She called it orange fluffy.
Mom and grandma did both also of each and used lime foe Christmas and tangerines for other holidays.
The green was a bit firmer and lots of cottage cheese! They are so good!
Also my grandma never failed cherry / strawberry jello with fruit cocktail and a dollop of real whipped cream with a cherry on top! 😘
Walnuts and drained mandarin oranges, (a full can drained) are tasty in it too.
Love this salad it is refreshing and delicious..sometimes we added yogurt instead of sour cream, plain yogurt or a flavored yogurt. Depending on what flavor we were making. Both are great
Have a great and safe day and Take care.
Yum, that's my family style...jello salads and save the containers for leftovers. I subscribed instantly
Mashallah absolutely very beautiful recipe 😋 mashallah good sharing 😊
Mandarin orange fluff always a favorite. I always double up on the oranges.
I made this fluff tonight and it’s delicious! Tangy and sweet!
It looks amazing and I bet it tastes amazing as well ❤
Greg, this is my first time watching your channel. This looks yummy! I can tell by the way you stir/incorporate with that spatula that you know what you’re doing! Enjoyed the video and I’ll give this a try! 😊
My first time here too. ✋🏽 Caught my attention with the word “fluff”. I’ve had this & idk it was sour cream (or cott cheese)! What I ate I could eat the whole bowl but it was 🍒 cherry & had the coconut & nuts 🌰 THANK YOU for giving me the complete recipe; can’t wait to try this - made by me.
So glad to finally see this recipe!
I am dying 😅 my boyfriend was looking for greek yogurt, and it had chili in it! His eyes were as big as saucers. I am so happy I am not crazy reusing containers. It's all about the lid! I hear a click! I will marry that container
My mom made this on the holidays. Ive carried on this "tradition ". My daughter makes it too!❤❤❤
This looks delish! So refreshing. Plus; I have 2 kids they can make this annndddd I love all the comments and ideas for my kids to do
❤
I'd like to see someone make this in a single serving. Cause if I had free reign of the bowl,I would eat nearly all of it in one sitting,looks so yummy😋😋😋
Love, love fluff salads!!!!
Yummm. I like these older dishes. 🤤
My Texas grandma use to make or some ambrosia on Easter and other BBQ get togethers! Now I know! TFS!
I knew a lady who put orange sherbet instead of sour cream in her salad, and you keep it in the freezer. It was delicious..
Thank you, this is on the table this Christmas! YUMMY!
This will be a perfect dessert to take when we go to a cookout this Sunday, with the grandkids there! I'm going to add the colored marshmallows, as you suggested. Thank you! :)
It looks great for a family Sunday dinner, because I don't cook much but I'll take a little something to have after a big dinner.. thank you so much again!
Your reliving the 60s and I love it. Thank for the the great mom memories
G'day Greg.
It took me 2 days to watch this, I I paused it originally to bring my wife in to see.
It's not a recipe I am familiar with and I am totally fascinated by it. My family are going to love this mate.
Thanks again Greg. Love it!
All the best,
Daz.
Pecans Walnut cherries coconut
Did it ever get made?
@@Penland1234 if that was directed at myself, yes we did. 😊 The kids were very cautious as it's not something we have seen before. One spoonful and it was smiles all round.
Have a great day.
Daz.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen well that was a quick response. I use to have a little black weenie hybrid dog that was cautious like your kids when it came to new food. It was like he feared he might not like it. He was rather oddly round-shaped. Not hotdog shaped like most weenies. All black and could do front flips even though I did not teach him that trick.Kind of like Ecco the 🐬. Not sure there will be another dog like him again but I will think about him when I get around to making this treat 😉
Dear Doug, I’m 66 years old. This was a Common Vintage Salad in my youth (1960 & 1970’s) and earlier. It’s every bit yummy as it is easy to make. Good luck with your Foodie Goals.
Love this salad!
I love lime jello!
Love this recipe. Thanks for bringing back all these old favorites, Greg!
I make that every Holiday. It's a big hit.👍.
What a simple recipe! Looks yummy Greg!
LOVE this stuff. You usually see it at church socials. My family loves all of the jello salads. Thanks for sharing.
All right!!! Looks delicious
Yum yum, what a great reminder.
oldie but goodie
Yum Greg, I remember these from my childhood. The cherry one sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!
Thanks, you too!
a classic favorite for the holidays!
Looks yummy!! Love the counter top and awesome how you cover the stove!!
I make mine with cottage cheese, fruit cocktail and cherry jello and marshmallows...excellent. I will have to try sour cream
Add half a cup of coconut and walnuts too. Yummy!!
Brings back memories. Love it. Thank you
Greg, I always went for this at our church potluck!! Thank you!!
I love Jello Salads. When my Husband became Diabetic had to rethink my favorite Lime Cottage Cheese Salad. My hack:: use whipping cream and Splenda packets instead of the sweetened condensed milk. Same amount as the can of milk would be and a few packets of Splenda to taste. Sugar free boxes of lime jello. Use the cottage cheese, nuts, and crushed pineapple. It sets the same, tastes the same but less sugar.
Looks absolutely delicious!
This looks wonderful! 😋
Sounds like an old-fashioned nice salad thanks
My friend this looks so delicious I could have finished that bowl on my lonesome ownsome...
I make my with orange jello, cream cheese and crushed pineapple
I would have never thought of cream cheese good idea 💡
Looks delicious ! I’ve never been a fan of lime jello but this one I could definitely eat! Thanks for sharing
Love Jello Salads & this one is new to me . Looks delicious & so easy. A new go to recipe I will be adding to my collection. Thanks for sharing.

I've never had this, it has everything I love to eat and it's all in one dish. That's fantastic! I'll have to make this,.it's going to be yummerz! Thank you for this recipe 👍
Love your recipes.
We made this every year for Christmas. Ambrosia Salad and Orange or Cherry fluff. Now that Mom and Gram have passed, those salads are even more of a reminder of home. Add a Japanese spice cake and lemon meringue pie and it would be heaven.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I needed a fruit salad for Easter. Im bringing your recipe, but I will use cottage cheese because I love the sweet & salty together. Add dash of coconut. Happy Easter, KW MT. USA 🇺🇸 🎉
Thanks again. Will make it this weekend as kids coming home. Yummy Best Maria

Thank you for the recipe I remember eating this when I was little. Always wanted the recipe

Ok. We have - Orange Stuff, Pink Stuff and Green Stuff in our family. The Orange is this but with cottage cheese, the pink has ground-up fresh cranberries, and the green is made with pistachio pudding.
The joys of church pot lucks.
