I also am looking for old school southern style jello recipes, the kind for potlucks and church socials.

When I was a teen I sent in Jell-o pkg and a couple dollars for a
Jell-o cookbook.
Still have it and use it.
Classic recipes! Love the recipes cutting Jell-o into little squares and serving them in wine glasses. Layer whipped cream in between and different flavors of Jell-o. Beautiful presentation. Tons of fun recipes!

Any particular ones? I have bunch of recipe collection cookbooks, the kind put out as church fundraisers, etc, and there's a bunch of jello salad recipes in them. If there's one you're looking for I'd be happy to look...

Thank you for the offer Liz. Nothing in particular, just the fluffy or layered or jiggly. If you have a favorite I would love it.

I don't normally eat them so I don't really have a favorite. I just see the recipes as I'm going thru the books, and thought if there was one you were looking for I could check.

One source - search for recipes by decades....whenever you remember the "old school" potlucks and church socials. For example:
