7-UP MAYONNAISE Jello SALAD Retro Recipe Test | You Made What?!

Great job, Emmy. The correct Italian pronunciation is MarasKino, not Marasheeno. I was served this at a picnic in Atlanta in 1971, I was never able to find the recipe (or its name) again till today ! It was not green, but white, and deep frozen, served in slices like an Italian semifreddo.

Marilyn Warren or you guys had shitty taste buds. Of course you think the shit you grew up on is still good. You have nostalgia lenses.

[@susanprice7202]

WELOVEKIMIKO and Marilyn Warren You might be unaware of several important facts that absolutely influenced the 1950's recipes and meals....1) Our mother's grew up during the Great Depression of the 1930's when MOST didn't have access to a lot of money and therefore foods. Getting a square meal was difficult and you ate what you could get. 2) Our mother's also had gone through the severe rationing of WWII. Meatless Mondays, Victory Gardens in backyards, etc. meant that food continued to be very limited and simple. 3) The grocery stores of the 1950's stocked significantly FEWER items than stores today do, most stores did NOT have in-store bakeries, deli's, or "gourmet" departments. 1950's recipes used fewer and simpler foods is because that is ALL THAT WAS AVAILABLE and compared to the Depression and WWII, the 1950's were considered at the time to be the days of milk and honey in America. Remember most of Europe had very little food and that American farmers shipped grains and foods all over the world to avert starvation.

[@WELOVEKIMIKO]

Susan...Sis...nobody cares about any of that. None of what you just spewed changes the fact that mayo could have definitely been left out of this already horrendous recipe. It could've been salvaged without it. Period. Stop trying to defend something that doesn't apply to the life of a millenial. Take this recipe, skip the mayo and it MIGHT just be edible. Your mothers were a little too "creative" for most tastebuds. Bread, Beans, eggs, flour, salt pepper and canned good all existed but SOMEHOW this green slime was the choice?? Doesnt mean you just throw it all together and call it a day. You would make an excuse for anything huh? Lady stop it. End of story. Goodbye.

Emmy, next time, lightly oil the mold. Go around the edges, gently pulling the gelatin from the sides with your fingertips. Also, lateral shaking usually works better than vertical. Tips from an old lady who lived through the 60s and 70s.

[@emmymade]

LATERAL shaking -- GENIUS. Thank you.

[@dak2fan]

Thank you. Putting it in warm water damages the jello (you can actually see it has lost a little of its crisp finish in the video). I agree with your method.

Patricia is right....I mentioned above to oil the mold and you can also use mayonnaise to oil the mold as well. The lateral shaking is great too. I am an old dude who lived through the 60s and 70s as well. I miss these salads!

#🍮 OIL the Pan! For starters. Thinly coat pan (but get those grooves) with olive oil, melted butter, or with the mayo from the recipe. 2. DO NOT WAG the plate & mold pan in AIR, you have to HIT the bottom on the counter. 3. When releasing mold with the knife go down as far as you can on the smooth sides (especially the middle) 4. Hotter water maybe needed. Mix boiling water with hot tap water, if need be. Tips I learned from my Grandmother

[@normakurtz4110]

Agree having the knive go down further. Also, We never shook it. We tapped it on the table than put a dish cloth wrung out in hot water over the top of the upside down pan.

She makes whatever flavor and the hotwater but when it comes to the cold water she uses yogurt or ice cream or cream cheese to make it a cloudy colir and chills it for a bit then adds a ton of fruit. Our family detours it! The key to adding the fruit I just recently learned is to drain it if its canned, dry fruit makes it good not soggy. She also uses the juice from the can in the begining when you add water, or the other things. I really enjoy your video's! What do you say right before you eat something?

We have made this for generations in my family at all family recipes but we don’t cook it on the stove we whip the jello and don’t use the 7 up, mayo or cherries. We also use whipping cream instead of cool whip. It’s soooo yummy!!

My grandmother always made a Jello mold for holidays. Only hers didn't use mayonnaise, it used cottage cheese. At the time I thought it was completely gross, but now I must admit that nostalgia has made me wish she were around to make it again. :)

[@gregmuon]

I remember this from childhood! There was always one of these at picnics and potlucks in the 70s, typically accompanied by other jello 'salad' molds. There were several variations; they were always green with pineapple and mayo. I think my mom had a tupperware mold specifically for these dastardly things.

Most molded gelatin desserts will benefit from an oiled pan (vegetable oil or the addition of cooking spray cooking spray). They will slide out so much more readily! One of my favorite retro jello salads (unmolded) is Watergate salad, and I would LOVE for you to make a modern version with no pre-boxed, green pistachio jello.

COOL WHIP OR WHIPPED CREAM MAYBE

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

I think you could have left the mayo out without a problem. There is enough staying power in there with the cream cheese, cool whip and the jello. I love that you do these retro recipes. I grew up eating many a horrifying gelatin salad in my youth. The 60s and 70s were a heyday for them. My favorite is what we called pink goop or sometimes "pink fluff" You can make it any color you want depending on the Jello. It has cottage cheese, strawberry jello powder, drained crushed pineapple and cool whip. Still make it at Christmas!

[@emmymade]

Wow, “pink goop” sounds worrisome. 🤭

[@suneyeintuition4315]

I have made this a few times. I now do it a bit differently than the traditional recipe suggests. Drain pineapple and cherries, set aside. It's a matter of taste, but I also cut the cherries in half. Smaller chunks of cherry in the bites tastes better. Mix Cool Whip and cream cheese, both at room temperature, with an electric mixer. Set aside. Melt marshmallows in 20 oz. Of *DIET* (yes, diet) 7-Up in a pan. When it's boiling, add the lime Jell-O and mix. Take off heat and stir in pineapple and cherries. Add Jell-O mixture to Cool Whip/cream cheese mixture. Stir with regular spoon until well mixed. Put in SPRAYED mold pan and place in fridge a few hours, preferably overnight. Skip the mayo. It makes absolutely no difference in how well it sets. And I honestly think the salad tastes a bit better without it somehow, even though you can't actually taste the mayo itself. Might as well save yourself the calories.

[@adamemac]

Indeed, Martha would be SO PROUD, Emmy! 😅

[@yusrahcassim1635]

Ok but someone please tell me why this is called a salad 🤦🏼‍♀️

Because of the fruit and mayo. Ambrosia salad is also from this time and its just mayo and fruit.

From past experience watching my Grandmother and mother fight with the old metal molds you need to give it the hot water bath, run the knife around the sides and middle, but you also need to smack them against the counter to help release the air on the sides. Not only does it release the air pressure, but it's satisfying after fighting with it for too long!

[@mariebernier3076]

Tapping the top with the butt of a metal knife works, too.

[@djinnko]

This reminds me of something my mother made for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Her version was lime jello, cottage cheese, whipped cream, and canned pineapple. She didn't have a mold, she just put it in a huge bowl. She didn't have a name for it, but my father always called it green deal.

[@samiam74]

Wow. Memories. My Nana had a huge collection of different molds and she was obsessed with making different gelatins including savory ones. To this day, I can't even look at jello without thinking about tomato aspic and gagging a little...I do love this series of retro recipes. I was born in the early 70s and survived many of these.

Hi Emmy! I’m a Korean-American and until I was in college my mom and I went to a church with many many white grannies from the 50s-60s. I grew up eating a lot of these retro recipes at potlucks and I actually like a lot of the jello recipes. Definitely had no idea what the ingredients were or that mayo was possibly involved L M A O. Honestly if you try most of these retro recipes completely out of context they’re a weird and new mouthfeel at first but then you just get used to it

[@LauraRodriguez-rn4um]

These retro recipes help me to understand that generation better. Also- it’s amazing that many lived (or are living) into their 90’s. So much mayo!
