Grandma's Recipes #22 - Broken Glass Torte

Broken glass torte is a staple of Northeast Wisconsin potlucks.  It looks pretty in a bowl, and can be made with the jello flavors of your choice, although I think lime, cherry, orange, and lemon are most popular.  Grandma had two recipes for this classic in her box, which are very, very similar.

Broken Glass Torte Large Bowl
Graham cracker crust 11 x 15 pan
3 small packages jello - red, yellow, and green (top) or orange, red, and green (bottom)
1 can crushed pineapple w/ 1/2 c pineapple juice
1/2 cup cold water
1 package gelatin
2 packages Dream Whip or 1/2 pint of whipped cream
2/3 c sugar

Dissolve each package of jello in 1 1/2 c boiling water.  Put in large bowl (bottom) | flat dish (top). When set, cut in small squares.  Pour 1/2 pineapple juice out of can of pineapple.  Boil pineapple juice, cold water, and gelatin to dissolve.  Whip 2 packages dream whip or 1/2 pint of whipped cream with 3/4 c sugar.  Mix cream, juice mixture, jello and crushed pineapple by hand.
