Mama's Ice Cream Jello Salad

1 double-size box lime gelatin 1 cup hot water 1 cup cold water

2 cups vanilla icecream 1/2 cup drained pineapple 1/2 cup nut meats

Directions:
Sprinkle lime gelatin over hot water, stirring until completely combined (about 2 minutes). Add cold water and vanilla ice cream, stirring until ice cream is melted. Stir in pineapple and nut meats and refrigerate until set.

Notes:
My mother, Doris Hill, collected this recipe and handwrote it on a card for her files. She notes that orange jello can be used instead of lime if desired.
