    I have made this forever! My kids called it “green gunk” and they loved it 💚💚💚

    My grandmother introduced this to our family at Christmas time but she froze it and we sliced it up. Delicious. As a child I had no idea what Watergate was but we looked forward to my grandmother fixing this treat for our family.

    You don’t have to drain the pineapple. Just dump it all in, it’s perfect every time.

    I've always heard that the head chef at the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC created this recipe and put it on the menu there. Later that same hotel became famous because President Nixon. Love your Old Country Roses china pattern. I have the same one and started for my daughters to collect. I've just subscribed because even though I live in Colorado, I know we'd be friends.

    I have been hunting for this recipe for YEARS! My mom and I had it at a family reunion and tried multiple different ways to duplicate it, but we thought she had used lime jello instead of pistachio pudding. Needless to say, we never got it right. My mom is gone now, but I wish she was alive today so I could show her this!

    My sister in law used to make this on holidays. My daughter asked for it for Christmas. I'm going to add some cherries, for red and green. We are no longer part of that family, so it's nice to be able to do this for her. Thank you!

    This is such a wonderful memory for me as my Grammy and I used to make this as a treat when I spent the night on the weekends. I miss her so much! This is a good pie as well, just put it in a graham cracker crust and chill it overnight : )

    It's called Watergate because the building where the crime was committed was a greenish color.

    I am actually surprised with this recipe you would use any other kind of nut besides pistachio which I think would be good in it since it already has pistachio pudding in it😅

    Why are calling this Southern? You admitted that it was on the Jello container which was sold all over North America.

    • @kathyssouthernkitchen302
      @kathyssouthernkitchen302  Před rokem +1

      Because we Southerners love our Watergate Salad. It's something that's still wildly popular in the souther states. I can't speak for other states. Have a fabulous day!
