It's horse show season again! This is a favorite recipe of mine to take to the shows, mostly because of the name and the memories that go with it. My riding students used to make fun of me and my "Gork." One student teased me so badly I just had to get her back. She boarded her horse with me so I started to call him "Gork." I took his shiny gold name tag off the stall and replaced it a tacky cardboard "Gork the Dork" sign. When schooling show time came, I entered him as "Gork." You get the picture. She returned the favor, but that's a story for another time. As you read through the recipe you'll probably think, "That sounds familiar." You may have had it before, but with the modifications, horse show people can call it their own. This originally came from Kathy Norton of Yakima, Washington.
Green Horse Show Gork
1 3-ounce package lime gelatin
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple
1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows
2 cups small curd cottage cheese
8 ounces whipped topping
Make gelatin according to package directions for quick-set method using 7 ice cubes. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Combine reserved juice and marshmallows in saucepan. Cook over low heat until marshmallows are almost melted, stirring frequently. Add to gelatin, mix well. Add cottage cheese and pineapple; mix well. Chill in refrigerator until partially set. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into containers for traveling. Chill until firm. Gelatin can be chilled in freezer for 30 minutes for faster setting. --Cathie Hook
