We come from a Utah Mormon family. I don't know if it is a Utah thing or a Mormon thing, but we ate a lot of Jell-O growing up. We have an arsenal of Jell-O recipes under our belts. So when Rebecca posted about her Jell-O, I didn't think about suggesting she post the recipe too. I forget everyone doesn't just know all the Jell-O recipes. Also, if you have a favorite Jell-O recipe, we would love for you to share it. You can never eat too much Jell-O. (I wanted to see how many times I could type Jell-O in one post;) I think my personal favortie Jell-O is either my Grandma's Green Jello Salad, or Mom's layered Jell-O. But both are favorites at all the holidays. I'll share two recipes since I can't seem to find Mom's recipe at the moment:
Stained Glass Jell-O
4 3-ounce boxes of JELL-O®
1 12-ounce can of evaporated milk
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
*You may use any flavor of JELL-O® that you want. Pick your colors to coordinate with your theme, or your favorite flavors.
In separate bowls, dissolve 1 box of JELL-O® in one cup of boiling water. Pour into an eight inch square dish or pan. Chill until set, about 3 hours.
Once set, cube JELL-O® and mix in a 13" x 9" baking pan and set aside (in the refrigerator).
In a separate bowl, combine four envelopes unflavored gelatin with one cup boiling water. Let dissolve completely, about 5 minutes. Combine with one can of evaporated milk. Set aside to cool.
When milk mixture is cool, pour into 13" x 9" containing cubed JELL-O® and mix carefully until well combined. Chill until set, about 4 hours.

I didn't know you had to strain evaporated milk....
ReplyDeleteRecipes sound cool.
I made my favorite last weekend. It's a variation of 7-up salad.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry 7-up Salad
1/2 pkg small marshmallows
8 oz room temp cream cheese
small box of strawberry jello
1 c water
1 c strawberries
1/2 c chopped nuts (I use pecans)
1 c 7 up
Beat room temp cream cheese until smooth, add frozen or fresh cut up strawberries (orig recipe has can of crused pineapple so there is juice in there. You can use milk, I use a bit of strawberry vitamin water...less than 1/4 cup), stir in nuts. Boil water, whisk jello until dissolved. Stir marshmallows into hot jello mixture (some will dissolve), then fold into cream cheese mixture. Pour 7 up in last (it will create a foamy texture) and pour into mold, or as I use, bundt pan. Whatever! It's delicious!
I really love the stained glass jell-o, I just wanted the white part to have more flavor...do you think that sweetened condensed milk would be an acceptable substitute?
