Christmas Ribbon Jello

Christmas Ribbon Jello

Ingredients

1 (3 oz.) package lime jello
1 (3 oz.) package raspberry jello
1 (3 oz.) package lime jello
1 (3 oz.) package strawberry or cherry jello
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (we used Knox brand)
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 cups sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Method:

1. Dissolve lime jello in 1 cup boiling water.  Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir.  Pour into a 9×13 pan coated with non-stick spray.  Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until firm. 

2.  Meanwhile in medium saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water.  Let it stand for about one minute.  Stir in milk and sugar.  Cook and stir over medium heat until gelatin and sugar are dissolved.

3. Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream and vanilla.  Gently pour about 1 1/2 cups white gelatin mixture over firm layer of green jello.  Chill about 30 minutes or until firm. (At this point I keep remaining amount of white gelatin in pan.  If it begins to thicken up before I use it for the next layer, I turn stove to simmer for just a few minutes and whisk gelatin until smooth and then turn off heat.)

4. Dissolve raspberry jello in 1 cup boiling water.  Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir.  Gently pour over firm white layer.  Chill about 30 minutes or until firm.

5. Gently pour about 1 1/2 cups white gelatin mixture over firm layer of red jello.  Chill about 30 minutes or until firm.

6. Dissolve lime jello in 1 cup boiling water.  Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir.  Gently pour over firm white layer.  Chill about 30 minutes or until firm.

7. Gently pour about 1 1/2 cups white gelatin mixture over firm layer of green jello.  Chill about 30 minutes or until firm.


8. Dissolve strawberry jello in 1 cup boiling water.  Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir.  Gently pour over firm white layer.  Chill about 30 minutes or until firm and enjoy!
