  • 2 cups shredded raw carrots
  • 1 cup grated pineapple
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 package orange gelatin
  • 2 cups pineapple or orange juice
  • lettuce

Prepare the orange gelatin, using pineapple or orange juice for the pint of liquid required. Add the vegetables and fruit, and pour into a mold. Refrigerate until the gelatin is set, stirring once before it sets so that the fruit and vegetables do not settle on the bottom of the mold. Unmold and serve on lettuce leaves with salad dressing.

This is a wonderful cheesecake, and have been making it for years. It's got a creamy texture to it. I believe I first saw it in the Almanac back in the 80's as Mrs. Trebilcocks Cheesecake. I use this as a base recipe, and use many different ingredients; you can do anything you want with this. Wonderful!My favorite is one I make for Christmas with chocolate swirl and raspberry liquor, and chocolate wafer crumb crust. – Anonymous Review

This is a great cheesecake, and yes, the recipe was in an OFA from the 80s. Virginia Trebilcock's recipe with a wonderful history of cheesecake, including my favorite line to the effect that "one slice equals the annual caloric eqivalent of a small country"!! But worth it! It's a favorite with my friends and family--something my children will remember me by! NOTE--I add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice over what the recipe calls for. – Reviewed by Evan Massaro

This cheesecake is the favorite of my family and I've been making it since I received the edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac it was printed in. I live in Norway and have tried the recipe on my Norwegian friends and finally had to give them the recipe, too! It's really good and easy to make! – Reviewed by Dwight Putnam

This was the best tasting cheesecake I ever made. It didn't crack like most do! The lemon juice gave it a nice, fresh flavor. Also loved the walnuts in the crust. My family raved about this recipe. – Reviewed by Susan Bot

My grandmother has made this recipe since she saw it in the magazine. She still has the original clipping. It is a staple at every family gathering, any time of year. A winner that will be passed down! (She says to make sure you follow the directions and beat each egg separately!) – Reviewed by Angela Palomo
