Calling all Cooks!!! I need help hunting down a recipe...lol PLEASE HELP

[Wants2Save]

My husband, decided at 11pm on Thanksgiving Eve that he wants his favorite fruit salad dish that his mom always makes... Small problem he and I have no idea how to make it.
This is what I know:
Fruit Cocktail in a can
Lots of Cool Whip
Cottage Cheese
Jello- we think...

Also it had a pink tint which I am assuming was due to jello.

Does anyone have any clue of what this might be?? He calls it Cocktail Salad but I tried to look it up on some cooking sites and nothing like what he wants came up.

Can anyone help me, please? You'ld be my thanksgiving savior...lol.

Thanks!!
