Blackberries 'n Cream Mold


One thing I love about this time of the year, is that there are blackberries growing along every country road and in every empty lot. They are just waiting there, ripe for the picking. This year I stole them from the used car lot behind the apartments. I have to admit that this is the first thing I have ever stolen from a used car lot, and they certainly are delicious!

Here's the recipe:
1 box of 6oz blackberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
Mix until dissolved. Pour a little into your mold and arrange blackberries. Chill until set. Pour a little more into the mold and chill until nearly firm. Add...
1 can of condensed milk
...to the remaining Jell-O. Chill until very thick but not set, for those of you who make pudding I would describe this as "trace." Fold in blackberries and pour into mold. Chill until firm.

Cheers!
