Three Thanksgiving Molds

To make up for the fact that I haven't made any Jell-O in a couple months now. I've made THREE molds for Thanksgiving. I just hit the wall with Jell-O eating. I still LOVE to make them. But I just couldn't eat that much Jell-O all by myself. I ended up wasting it. So I took a Jell-O sabbatical, and now I have returned with renewed Jell-O making vigor!

Here is another crown Jell-O mold, only I prefer the Food Librarian's version, to the Joys of Jell-O version.

And here is a recipe I made up on my own. You take 1 (3oz.) package apricot Jell-O and 1 envelope plain gelatin and dissolve in 1 cup boiling water. Then you add 1/2 can of condensed milk and a few drops of almond flavoring. Let chill until slightly thick. Add 1/2 can pineapple tidbits, 1 small can of mandarin oranges, and about 1/2 cup slivered almonds. Beat into Jell-O mixture with electric mixer. Whip until light and frothy. Pour into mold and chill until set.

And here is a boring plain red Jell-O lobster. Because some people like their Jell-O pure and unadulterated.

Happy Thanksgiving!

plumcot jello

Here's the Plumcot Jello mold I made last night. I used apricot Jello and added chunks of plumcots, (plum crossed with apricots). It turned out pretty good. But I was experimenting with how long I need to chill it before adding the fruit so they won't float to the top. Apparently, one hour is too long, it got sort of chunky. Forty-five minutes should be just right for next time.
