tough Jell-O

See Jell-O isn't the sissy-whimpy food we always thought it was. Jell-O is tough! It's strong! And it's X-treme!
If you need proof, just visit Bloghungry and try his recipe for X-treme Jell-O Salad.
It's an awesome Jell-O salad recipe (without veggies) that will leave your guests wanting more... instead of cowering in the corners with fear.
Enjoy!

strawberry apple mold

I enjoyed my last applesauce mold so much, I decided to make another. Only this time I used strawberry Jell-O instead of lime. But I'm so ashamed of myself... I made the number one stupidest Jell-O making mistake. I didn't heat up the water enough to dissolve the Jell-O. I was using applesauce instead of water, and I had that boiling (I thought hard enough) but it was difficult to tell with the applesauce if it was dissolving or not. And this morning when I went to pop it out of the mold it was still runny. Oh, the shame! I know better than that! Oh well, according to my Jell-O cookbook, if it doesn't set, you can dump it all back into a pan. Bring everything to a boil. Boil it for about two minutes. Let it sit and cool off a little bit. Pour it back into the mold, and everything will be fine. I figured, I didn't have anything to loss, so I tried it. And it was alright after all. So much for being a pro-Jell-O chef.

applesauce jello

Here's a recipe my mom used to make for applesauce jello, and it's just as good as I remember it.
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 cup 7up
1 3oz box of jello
(any flavor will work, I like green.)

Bring applesauce to a gentle boil. Dissolve in jello. Add 1 cup 7 up. Chill.
Enjoy,
