No.

You cannot use JELL-O as a reason for blogging.

What if I had it for years.

No.  It never goes bad.

What if I wouldn't use it except for this blog.

Lame.

What if I made it, looked for it for a couple days, cleaned my kitchen and found it under a towel on the counter.

You can't be serious.

Oh, but I am.  Hey, it's still good!

Peachy Berry Mold

From The Joys of Jell-O and lemonlorange

“A fruit mold that brings a bit of sunshine to your meal anytime of year.”

1 package (3 oz.) Jell-O Orange or Orange-Pineapple Gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 can (8 3/4 oz.) sliced peaches
1 package (10 oz.) Birds Eye Red Raspberries

Dissolve Jell-O Gelatin in boiling water. Drain peaches, measuring syrup; add water to make 3/4 cup. Stir into gelatin. Add frozen raspberries, separating berries with fork and stirring until mixture thickens. Then stir in peaches. Pour into serving dishes or a 1-quart serving bowl. Chill until firm. Garnish with sour cream, if desired. Makes 3 1/2 cups, or 6 servings.

For a Limited Time Only

It's Honeybell season and it only lasts a few weeks. Find them here or try your favorite grocery store. They might be labeled as Florida tangelos. Look for the "bell" shape. I even saw them at Walmart. Be sure to peel or slice them over a bowl. They are that juicy.

Orange Julius, Jello Style

Fact: I only make one Jell-O recipe and it doesn't require orange Jell-O.
Fact: I have left over orange Jell-O from someone's medical test prep.
Fact: I have a tower of sour cream and my recipe calls for yogurt.
Lets do dis.


Orange Julius Jello
3 small pkg. orange Jello
2 c. water
24 oz. sour cream
3/4 c. powdered sugar
2 - 8.4 oz. cans of mandarin oranges, drained

Heat water until very hot/almost boiling. For ease use the microwave. Stir in Jello and mix until it is dissolved. Spoon sour cream into a separate bowl. Mix in powdered sugar. Add Jello a little at a time, stirring each time until smooth. (You could use a blender for this instead). Stir in mandarin oranges. Chill until set.

Save the drained juice to make a smoothie.
