Nifs Edible Aquarium Recipes

NIF'S EDIBLE AQUARIUM

Steps:

• Prepare 3 packages of Jell-O gelatin in a large bowl as directed. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until Jell-O is partially set, but still a little "liquidy".
• Clean a NEW 1/2 gallon glass fish bowl, preferably the kind that is flat on the front and back.
• Add grapes and blueberries to bottom of fish bowl, spread evenly.
• Layer gelatin and gummy fish. You can poke gummies down with a spoon or your fingers to look as though they are randomly swimming in the water.
• Refrigerate 1/2 hour until better set.
• Display fish bowl with flashlight propped behind it to better see the display of fish.
• When ready to serve, you can use a washed NEW fish net to scoop the fish and fruit out, along with the Jell-O. Some kids might think this step is "gross", so make sure that your kids are OK with it.

NIF'S DILLED QUAIL EGGS

Steps:

• Heat water to boiling, gently set eggs into water. Boil 5-6 minutes and then rinse under cold water. Do NOT use a rolling boil or the eggs will break. If your eggs do break, keep their yolks anyway.
• Let cool completely. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Pop yolks out into a small bowl.
• To yolks, add mayo and dill. Mix very well, then salt and pepper to taste.
• Put yolk mixture into a plastic sandwich bag. Pipe mixture into each egg half.
• Garnish with fresh dill or chives.

NIF'S PINEAPPLE SQUARES

Steps:

• Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add egg yolks and mix well.
• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
• Press into an 8" x 8" cake pan (lightly greased or sprayed with nonstick spray). Cover with pineapple.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff; add the sugar and coconut. Spread over the pineapple.
• Bake at 350F for 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.
