Mom’s Lime Jello Mold

Hands down, this is my absolute favorite jello mold and the recipe was my Mom’s. I don’t have many of her original recipes as she died when I was a teenager and most of her recipes were not written down. But luckily, I have this treasure and I’m thrilled to share it with you. There’s pineapple, cherries and sour cream in it and it truly is delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do.
