Orange Sherbet Jello

-
Very refreshing!


If you want something quick and refreshing to go with soup or sandwiches this would be a good choice. It does not take long and is super easy, and very kid friendly.

I usually just put it into a pretty bowl or individual cups. The mold takes a little longer because of making sure it is chilled properly for perfect unmolding. But I thought it would be fun to have it this way for a change.

3 ingredients:


2 small boxes orange jello
2 small boxes pineapple jello
4 cups (1 quart) orange sherbet
4 cups boiling water

In a medium sized bowl pour boiling water over mixed jello.


Stir until jello is dissolved.


Add the sherbet.


It's easiest if  you let it sit for a bit to let the sherbet melt a little. Then stir until completely dissolved.



This is really foamy because I rushed it a little. If you don't want the foam just spoon it off or when stirring give the sherbet more time to dissolve and don't stir real fast.

Prepare the mold by spraying it generously with olive oil spray. Making sure you get it on all sides.


Then take a paper towel and wipe excess oil away. This will help when you go to unmold your jello and make the process so much easier.


Pour jello into mold.



Do not overfill.


Place the lid on top and refrigerate overnight or until very firm.

When you are ready to unmold it, prepare your serving plate and dip the bottom of the mold into warm water for about 30-60 seconds. Not too long or the jello will melt and be a little runny over the top when unmolded.

Remove the lid and turn it onto the serving plate and very carefully and slowly unseal the center part.



Then again carefully and slowly remove the outer part of the mold.


Aaahhh, perfect! Garnish as desired.



Be Blessed!

    Martha, I LOVE gelatin! And yours not only looks good, but is beautifully displayed. After viewing pics of your gelatin, I feel like getting out my tupperware mold and whipping up a gelatin mold.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
