Best Salad For Funeral Dinner Food

My Mom makes the best buttermilk jell-o salad and everytime there is a funeral at our church they call her to make the jell-o for the repast!!!! We've started calling this 'funeral salad', but we make it at home all the time as well!! As for the fruit in the recipe, Zaar wouldn't let me say smashed but that's what we do with the mandarin oranges, raspberries, strawberries, etc. We usually dice the pears, peaches and more firm fruits, Hope you'll get the drift here.

Our church has dinners for this, that and funerals. While my Mother was still alive, the church would always call her when they needed salads (etc.) I found this recipe and after that, that's all they wanted. There really wasn't a name for it (other than "make that salad"), so the next call was for a funeral, there came the name, "funeral salad". When my Mother went to heaven, and we where having the dinner, I made this salad, cause know one else would. It was the last laugh for my Mom, cause she said no one would make it for Her.
