GRAMMY’S THANKSGIVING JELLO

GRAMMY’S THANKSGIVING JELLO!  When our kids were growing up, they LOVED anything Jello!!  So, I have several jello recipes that became traditions in our home for various holidays.  This one became known as our Thanksgiving Jello!  It is a black cherry (or cherry) jello filled with blueberry pie filling and crushed pineapple and then frosted with a cream cheese-n-sour cream frosting, finished with a sprinkling of chopped pecans.  It is almost a dessert…..almost! 🙂 haha. We have to save room for the Pumpkin Pie, right? 🙂 haha. Check out GRAMMY’S THANKSGIVING JELLO below!  It’s sure to become a tradition in your home, too! From our home to yours….Happy Thanksgiving!
