A Quick Recipe

I am not a food blogger but I have had several requests for Grandma Bernice's Strawberry Salad Recipe.  My husband loves this recipe because it is reminiscent of those days when they had cattle.  Every time they loaded/sorted cattle, grandma Bernice would make this recipe.  Keep in mind that she never measured out anything and used what she had on hand.  So, you could make many variations of this salad.



So here it goes...

(It is also in the Apostolic Christian Cookbook---page 42.)

Strawberry or Raspberry Salad

2 pkg of Tapioca pudding
1 small package of Jello (Any type of red Jello will do---raspberry, strawberry, whatever)
2 1/2 cups water
10 oz strawberries or raspberries
8 oz light whipped topping, thawed

Combine pudding, Jello and water.  Cook over medium heat until thick.  Chill 1-2 hours. Then add berries and whipped topping.  Chill again prior to serving.

Variation:  I have also layered this in a trifle bowl...layering whipped topping, angel food cake, grandma's salad and so on ending with whipped topping and garnishing with fresh berries.  It is a beautiful and delicious summertime treat!

Have a great weekend!
