Patriotic Jello
A fabulous little treat we made for a July 4rth BBQ with friends and everyone loved it. This was my first of (hopefully) many attempts at the ribbon Jello sensation and as you can well see, my friends, my so-called "ribbon" layers are far from being perfectly straight or even and I learned the hard way to let each layer gel before adding the next layer. Patience is a virtue in making this correctly! Must say though--one of the most fun desserts to make, hands down! It took me for a straight shot down memory lane where Jello jigglers were so faithfully brought to each family function on my mom's side and gobbled up by a million cousins' hands... Oh it makes me shed a tear of joy for wonderful gelatin!
Two 3 ounce boxes red jello
Two 3 ounce boxes blue jello
4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
One 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
boiling water & cold water
In a medium bowl, mix one box of red jello with 1/2 envelope of unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature and pour into a 9×13-inch glass pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes (make sure that your refrigerator is level, or your jello will come out uneven-looking).
While first layer is setting, prepare white layer. In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup of boiling water. In a separate small bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water. Let stand a few minutes and then add ½ cup of boiling water to dissolve the gelatin. Add to the milk mixture and stir to combine. Cool to room temperature. Pour 1 cup of this milk mixture over the first layer of red jello. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While white layer is setting, prepare blue layer. In a medium bowl, mix one box of blue jello with ½ envelope of unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature and pour on top of white layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Repeat with red layer, another cup of of the white layer and then finishing with a blue layer on top. Refrigerate for 15 minutes after adding each layer.
Let jello set before cutting. Use a sharp knife to cut, and then use a metal spatula to slide underneath the jello and scoop out jello squares.
