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!

Coconut Pineapple Mold

Here is the coconut pineapple mold I made last week. It turned out amazing! To make it mix 1 box lemon Jell-O with 1/2 cup boiling water. Mix until dissolved. Add 1 5.6oz can of coconut milk. And chill until partially set. Whip with electric mixer until stiff and foamy. Fold in pineapple tid-bits and chill until set. (This would also be good with rum, but I didn't have any.)

Enjoy!

Banana Nut Ring

And yet another delightful recipe from the 1963 "Joys of Jell-O" cookbook, the Banana Nut Ring. This one is simple and easy to make, plus there's nothing too dangerous in it like mayo or pimentos, it's just a straightforward, tasty recipe. I didn't switch it up too much, I did add some vanilla to the Jell-O and I used walnuts in stead of pecans, but I pretty much followed the recipe this time around. But next time I make it, I want to try it with banana flavored Jell-O.
Enjoy!
