Betty demonstrates how to make a gorgeous and flavorful Lime Mist Gelatin Salad. It uses lime JELL-O, but is mixed with applesauce and lemon-lime soda. The topping is cream cheese, marshmallows, and whipped cream, garnished with some beautiful maraschino cherry slices and chopped pecans. This is a side dish, accompanying Betty's Sunday evening meal. Scrumptious, and a delight to look at!!!
Lime Mist Gelatin Salad
20 oz. applesauce
1 small package lime JELL-O (I used sugar-free.)
1 cup lemon lime soft drink, 7-up is fine. (I used diet soda.)
3 oz. cream cheese, cut into small cubes
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 pint whipping cream
Heat 20 oz. applesauce in a medium-sized saucepan, and dissolve a small package of lime gelatin in it. Add 1 cup of lemon-lime soda, and stir. Pour into a nice medium to large-sized clear serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Combine 3 oz. cream cheese, cut in small cubes, with 2 cups marshmallows, and 1/2 pint of whipping cream in a large mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. The next day, use a mixer to beat the marshmallow mixture until thick. (There can still be some lumps of marshmallows in it, if desired.) Spread over the gelatin salad. Garnish with a small amount of sliced maraschino cherries and chopped pecans (about 8 cherries and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. A splendid addition to almost any meal!

Why this Betty's Lime Mist Gelatin Salad works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Lemon, Apples.
Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Apples will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)
