RAINBOW RIBBON JELLO

My best friend makes this every year for Easter. It is very a very simple recipe, but make sure you have a lot of time to finish it. I recommend starting it early the day before you will want to serve it.

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

FOR THE JELLO LAYERS
6 box (3-ounce) jello, 1 each red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple
6 c boiling water
3 c cold water
FOR THE WHITE LAYERS
4 c milk
1 c boiling water
4 envelopes plain gelatin
24 oz sour cream
1 c granulated sugar
4 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Get 5 small bowls out to start. Mix 1 box of Jello with 1 cup boiling water and ½ cup cold water. Do this with all of the colors at the same time.
  • 2. Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat just until it reaches a lukewarm temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together 1 cup boiling water with the envelopes of plain gelatin. Whisk together until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the warm milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined and completely smooth with no lumps.
  • 3. Pour the first color into a 9x13-inch pan and refrigerate until set (about 45 minutes, but can vary depending on the temperature of your fridge and how full it is). Once it's set, very gently pour 1½ cups of the sour cream mixture on top. Return to the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until set. Repeat with the colors and sour cream mixture until the last color is used (you will have some sour cream mixture leftover). When finished, refrigerate for at least another hour. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve; refrigerate leftovers.

RIBBON JELLO

This is a family favorite, I can remember loving it from my first bite when I was a tiny tot. It makes a beautiful presentation when put in a glass 11x13 baking dish. It takes a few minutes every hour or so to tend to the 9 layers, but it will be worth every minute! Be sure to take copies of the recipe when you take this to your next party. Be assured people will ask for the recipe!

  • USING LADLE, gently pour a thin layer of the white layer over the Jello, be sure to cover completely.

RIBBON JELLO SALAD FROM MRS. B



Ribbon Jello Salad from Mrs. B image

A favorite family gave us this favorite recipe. This is time consuming and a bit of work so not for everyday. BUT it is visually stunning and also delicious. I like to substitute red and blue flavors with the white filling for 4th of July parties. But the original rainbow is great, too. Be sure to use a clear glass pan if you can.

Time 4h

Yield 1 9 x 13 pan, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups milk, heated to boiling point
2 cups sour cream
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes knox gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (3 ounce) package black raspberry Jell-O gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry Jell-O gelatin dessert
1 (3 ounce) package lime Jell-O gelatin

Steps:

  • For filling: Dissolve unflavored gelatin in cold water. Add milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat well.
  • Layer in 9 X 13 pan, chilling between layers.
  • First layer: jello 1, prepared as directed on package.
  • Second layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
  • Third layer: jello 2.
  • Fourth layer 1 3/4 cup filling.
  • Fifth layer: jello 3.
  • Sixth layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
  • Seventh layer: jello 4.
  • IMPORTANT; Let each layer set well before adding another. (Chill in refrigerator between additions.) Also, let your prepared jello cool to room temperature before layering it into the pan on top of the previous layer. When you pour a new layer in, do not pour it directly on the previous layer. The stream of liquid may be strong enough to "slice" open the layer that is there. Instead, hold a large spoon down near the pan; pour the liquid onto the spoon and let it gently cascade into the pan. The filling will probably set up before you get through all the layers. You can warm it gently to re-liquify; just be sure it is not too hot when you pour it on the previous layer.
  • Yes, it is worth it.
