This was a favorite jello treat my mom use to buy at Wegmans when we were kids
It is still a favorite today.

Ingredients:

2 3-ounce packages lemon flavored gelatin

2 cups boiling water

1 cup ice water

1 9-ounce cans crushed pineapple with juice (cannot use fresh pineapple)

1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar

Pinch salt

2 cups grated carrots

Directions:

1 Empty gelatin into a small mixing bowl. Stir in 2 cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin has dissolved.

2 Stir in 1 cup ice water, one can of crushed pineapple with its juice, lemon juice (or vinegar), and a pinch of salt. (Make sure you use canned pineapple. Fresh pineapple has an enzyme that will prevent the gelatin from jelling.)

3 Chill in refrigerator until the gelatin starts to thicken. Then gently fold in the grated carrots until well mixed.
I also add pecans as I did this time.
 Set in the refrigerator until firm, several hours.

Once set serve and enjoy.
