I make something similar to the pineapple one, only I use strawberry jello and fresh strawberries–it’s wonderful!

I love these old Jell-O recipes! I’ve spooned out many of them from pitch-ins and family gatherings. Wow, now you’ve got me hankering for them! Thanks for the tips–and for participating in Make-Do Mondays!

I don’t know, Barbee. I know farmers cheese is dry cottage cheese so while that would probably work if you left a bit of liquid from the cans, it isn’t going to help you much… unless it is the texture you dislike about cottage cheese? Farmers cheese had a different texture. But, farmers cheese is not cheap and seldom free. If you are unfamiliar with farmers cheese, it is the cheese used in pierogi.

I love ricotta too, but I’d think it would be really sweet if you used it as a substitute. It may also be too heavy (or dense as you suggested) for these recipes. The cottage cheese is a lot lighter.

If you try it, plmk how it worked out and how it tasted. I could eat ricotta plain so I’m up for anything it can be used in!

Is there anyone out there who can suggest a substitition for the cottage cheese in the above recipes? I can’t stand cottage cheese but I LOVE ricotta (go figure) can I sub ricotta os is that too dense?

Thanks is advance, barbee
