Ribbon Jello Salad Recipes

RIBBON JELLO SALAD FROM MRS. B

Steps:

• For filling: Dissolve unflavored gelatin in cold water. Add milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat well.
• Layer in 9 X 13 pan, chilling between layers.
• First layer: jello 1, prepared as directed on package.
• Second layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Third layer: jello 2.
• Fourth layer 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Fifth layer: jello 3.
• Sixth layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Seventh layer: jello 4.
• IMPORTANT; Let each layer set well before adding another. (Chill in refrigerator between additions.) Also, let your prepared jello cool to room temperature before layering it into the pan on top of the previous layer. When you pour a new layer in, do not pour it directly on the previous layer. The stream of liquid may be strong enough to "slice" open the layer that is there. Instead, hold a large spoon down near the pan; pour the liquid onto the spoon and let it gently cascade into the pan. The filling will probably set up before you get through all the layers. You can warm it gently to re-liquify; just be sure it is not too hot when you pour it on the previous layer.
• Yes, it is worth it.

• Refrigerate each layer approx 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• To prepare the "white" layer:.
• In medium pot, boil 2 cups milk.
• Add 1 cup sugar.
• Stir until dissolved.
• In small bowl, mix together 2 pkg Knox gelatin with 1 cup cold water.
• Slowly add mixture to hot milk.
• Turn off the heat.
• Put 2 cups sour cream in large bowl.
• Slowly add the hot milk mixture and beat on medium with electric beater to get lumps out.
• Leave white mixture on counter, stirring about every 1/2 hour to keep from jelling.
• After the 1st layer of Jello has firmed, remove dish from fridge.
• USING LADLE, gently pour a thin layer of the white layer over the Jello, be sure to cover completely.
• Put back into fridge to firm.
• Continue to alternate layers: Jello, white, Jello, white, etc allowing each layer to firm up before adding another.
• This will last covered in the fridge for about 3-4 days--just not in my house!
