I also use this recipe once in a while. I put my fruit in a drainer and let it drain overnight or for a couple of hours (if I have the time.) Makes for a less soupy dish.

I use the above recipe but I use either pineapple or m. oranges, I do not use both. Also good if you use peach jello in the place of orange. It is fast if I don't have enough cottage cheese, put in what you have and it works anyway. I use it alot for dinners and often take it when I need to have a quick salad for church dinners or unexpected guests.

I make a similar recipe with lime jello.
1 small pkg. lime jello
1 small container of cottage cheese
1 small container of cool whip
1 drained can of crushed pineapple in its own juice
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Just mix and refrigerate. You could use any flavor of jello.

I have a recipe that used sour cream instead of cottage cheese.

Here's how we make it.
1 tall container small curd cottage cheese
1 tall can crushed pineapple (drained well)
1 package jello (either size, large size gives more intense flavor)
1 md. container cool whip
fruit to match the jello flavor

Mix the jello well with the pineapples. This helps to keep it from being runny when finished. Add the cottage cheese and mix well. Then stir in the fruit then the cool whip.
fruit suggestions:
marachino cherries with cherry jello
mandarine oranges with orange jello
grapes cut in half with just about any flavor jello
Sometimes we don't put any extra fruit in it.
And no matter what color we make it, our family calls it THE PINK STUFF.

Enjoy

The recipes all sound yummy! My husband likes jello with fruit in it so will have to give some of them a try. Thanks for sharing.

My family loves this recipe. I use mandarine oranges, drained. Also, I done this same recipe using raspberry jello and a cup or so of fresh raspberries or the frozen mixed berries from Costco. I beleive the possibilities are endless with different combinations. Let you imagination run wild with your favorite flavors.

1 sm. can mandarin oranges, drained
1 sm. can crushed pinnapple, drained (I actually squeeze it)
1 sm. container thawed frozen strawberries, drained
1 8oz. carton cool whip

Mix it all together and chill for at least 4 hrs.
