Red, White and Green Jell-o

I know all of you will remember this yummy desert that Mom use to make. This time of year you could substitute green jello for blue jello.

1 - 3oz pkg Lemon flavored Jell-O
1 - 3oz pkg Cherry, Raspberry, or Strawberry Jell-O
1 - 3oz pkg of Lime Jell-O
3 C. boiling Water
1 - 8oz pkg Cream Cheese, softened
1 - 8-1/4oz Crushed Pineapple with the syrup
1 C. Cool Whip, thawed
1/2 C. Mayonnaise
1-1/2 C/ Cold water

Dissolve each flavor of gelatin separately in 1 cup of boiling water. Gradually blend lemon gelatin mixture into softened cream cheese beating until smooth. Add pineapple and syrup and chill until slightly thickened. Blend in whipped topping and mayonnaise and chill until very thick.
Meanwhile, add 3/4 cup cold water to the red jello, pour into 9-inch square pan and chill until set but not firm. Add remaining cold water to the lime jello, chill until slightly thickened. Spoon lemon gelatin mixture over the red jello. Chill until set but not firm, top with lime jello. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. Unmold and garnish with cut-up pineapple slices and maraschino cherries, if desired. Makes about 16 servings.
