Searching for old "refrigerator pie" recipe.?

Question

Mom used to make "refrigerator pie" with jello and egg yolks for one layer and and graham crackers. I don't have a clue what else was used, but it was so good! Does anyone have a recipe that is close to this??

Since I've had time to think about it, I believe the original title for it was "ice box pie".

This may sound flippant but if possible you should just look on the label of the product that you want to recreate for the list of ingredients but failing that you could try the website of the company in question to see whether they list their product range and glean the info this way. I used to own an independant pickling company in Norfolk, England and I can tell you that many large manufacturers use something called Spirit vinegar which is the cheapest available. It is a very concentrated acid that has to be diluted but I believe, if memory serves me that this particular company use a good malt vinegar. The process isn't very complicated. Just peel and salt the onions (a good small pickling onion about the size of a conker) overnight then wash and rinse before putting in a jar then pour heated, spiced (peppercorns, allspice, a bayleaf) malt vinegar over the top to cover before placing the screwtop on. I know that some people will use cold vinegar but if you want a firm seal to the lid, the hot vinegar will create a vacuum as it cools and pull the lid down slightly. Then just put your jar/jars in a dark place for a few weeks or until you can't stand the wait any longer. You could also put some pre-salted garlic cloves in or even a few dried red chillies for extra oomph. And if you know anyone that wants to set up a chutney/pickling firm near you, I need a job and would love to come to Canada!.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU7Tm

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
