These are the down to earth recipes that memories are based on. This is real life, this is good natured fun. This is....jello.
Jello recipes are about as American as apple pies and hot dogs. Every family has favorite twist on the good old fashioned jello recipe. There is an endless list of things one can make with jello.
Jello in a Glass
Jello looks best as a mold or in a glass container. A fun glass with a Jello concoction is a great dessert for any occasion. Top with a a few berries, whip cream, or a fruit slice for an extra touch.

Frothy Seperated Layer
~ Recipe ~
Replace the cold water in the regular preparation steps with 1/2 tub of cool whip. Blend using a mixer and pour into individual glass serving dishes - also looks great in champagne glasses. The jello will begin to separate almost immediately. Refrigerate until firm. An opaque frothy (but firm) pastel colored layer will form at the top. Below it is the traditional translucent brightly colored layer. Dress it up with a few berries or slice of fruit for a nice finish.

Create jello mold, then fill the inside hole with a jello salad. The mold acts as a bowl for the salad.
Strawberry Jello Cake
~ Recipe ~
1 white cake mix
1 package strawberry jello
1 container topping like Cool Whip
I try to use a pan for this that is nice enough looking to serve in - like glass. Bake cake according to directions, let cool. Mix jello with 1 cup of warm water. Using a fork, make several holes in top of cake without going through and then pour jello over cake. Spread Cool Whip over it and refrigerate until chilled. Decorate the top with colored sugar crystals or fresh strawberries.
Another option is to thaw a package of frozen strawberries, and put a layer between the cake and the cool-whip.

Jigglers
~ Recipe ~
2 1/2 cups boiling water (Do not add cold water.)
2 pkg. (8-serving size each) Jello of any flavor
Stir the jello into the boiling water until it is completely dissolved. Then pour mix into a 13x9-inch pan, and put into the refrigerator until firm. It should not stick to the touch.
Dip the bottom of the pan into warm water for about 15 seconds to loosen jello from bottom of pan. Using cookie cutters, or a butter knife, cut out the desired shapes. Lift shapes from the pan.

Looking for Jello recipes, uses the dry Jello (no water added hot or cold) The recipes I am talking about takes a box of jello frozen fruit, cottage cheese, cool whip and some times cream cheese to make. Does anyone have any of this type of recipe? My mother in law made many different types but they primarily has some or all of these ingredients.
She lived in a small town in Ks, but has now passed on not leaving any of these fabulous recipes behind. Most of the people in the small town that she knew has also passed on or don't remember how they were made so if amy one has any of this type of recipe PLEASE POST and PASS THEM ON, They were so YUMMY!

Jello is one of my guilty pleasures! Love it so much, and I've got to try some of these new ideas you have here. I've never had Jello cake, so that's my next cooking project.

Nothing quite like Jello is there. 5***** for a great and fun lens. Of course in England Jello is called Jelly, and Jelly is called Jam. Gets confusing at times :)
