JELL-O TRICKS


I think most everyone knows this trick by now, but it always amazes me how much better it makes a bowl of Jell-O. So, I thought it was worth mentioning again even though I first mentioned it in 2008.
Around our house we always put canned fruit (peaches or pears usually) in the Jell-O for a little bit of extra UMPH to an otherwise bland snack! AND If I keep this made, we both tend to eat this at night when the munchies strike and stay away from the chips and ice cream.
  • When you drain those canned fruits, use a sieve and drain them into the measuring cup for the cold water first.
  • Then just add enough water to bring the level to where you need it. I usually get about 1 1/4 cup of fruit juice. Doing this will make for a better, more substantial flavor to any Jell-O.
  • Just after I pour in the Jell-o I use a small salad fork to stir up the fruit in each bowl. The fruit will usually end up well distributed in the Jell-O.
  • We also don’t like the film that forms on the top and I hated trying to stack all the bowls in the refrigerator, so I started using my Pampered Chef prep bowls for making Jell-O. Once you’ve made it, put the lids on and you can easily stack them in the frig.

Any idea if this recipe works with frozen fruit? I’m moving soon, and I don’t want to throw it all away. This would be a delicious way to use it up. 🙂
