Recipe: Luby's Frosted Lime Congeal (using jello, cottage cheese, pineapple and pecans)

Every few years someone seems to try to hunt this down. Here it is.

LUBY'S FROSTED LIME CONGEAL
Serves 12

2 (2.5 ounces each) packages lemon gelatin
2 (2.5 ounces each) packages lime gelatin
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise (don't use low-calorie)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 pound large-curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup medium pecan pieces (slightly chopped)
2 1/2 cups drained crushed pineapple

Put (dry) gelatin in bowl. Add 2 1/2 cups boiling water and stir until dissolved.

In separate container, whisk together mayonnaise and milk until smooth. Pour into the gelatin.

Fill a large bowl halfway with ice. Put bowl with gelatin mixture into the bowl with ice; push bowl down so its sides are surrounded by ice. Stir occasionally.

When gelatin mixture has thickened slightly (half set), add cottage cheese, pecans and crushed pineapple. Pour into individual molds or lightly greased Bundt or tube pan. Let set in refrigerator overnight.
