Retro Jello Salad Recipes

LAYERED RAINBOW JELLO (VINTAGE RECIPE)

Steps:

• You will be making two layers from each box of jello. Once you do the first one, you'll have the technique down.
• Use a clear Pyrex dish. The 9X14 size works great for six colors. If your dish is a little smaller, use 5 colors like I did this time.
• I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup to boil my water and a second one for pouring off part of the jello.
• Put one cup of water in your Pyrex measuring cup and boil the water in your microwave. I used the two-minute setting for this.
• Carefully remove the measuring cup from the microwave and add one package of gelatin. Stir until it is completely dissolved.
• Then measure out ¾ cup of the jello into a second container. To this container, add 1/3 cup of sour cream and whisk until it is smooth.
• To the remaining jello, add 2 TB of cold water and mix.
• Pour this into a 9X13 clear baking dish and refrigerate until set.
• After 30 minutes, pull your dish out of the refrigerator and pour the sour cream mixture over the first layer.
• Place the dish back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
• Wash your measuring cups and prepare the next layer of jello the same way you made the first layer -- one cup of solid color jello and one mixed with sour cream.
• Pour the clear jello mix over the top of the set layers. Then half an our later, add the sour cream mixture.
• Keep repeating this process until you have all the layers done.
• Cover with foil and refrigerate.

RETRO JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• In saucepan over medium heat, add milk and marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are mostly melted. Remove from heat.
• Add gel powder, stir until completely dissolved.

• Cover and transfer to refrigerator to set half way - about 20 - 30 minutes.
• Fold in CocoWhip / whipped coconut cream.
• Transfer to 8x8 baking dish or similar.
• Cover and return to refrigerator to set, several hours to overnight.

CRISCO SALAD

Steps:

• To make Crisco salad, start off by lining a pan with a graham cracker crust. We recommend using a 9 x 13 inch pan, and for the crust, combine 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2/3 cup of melted butter. Mix together until fully combined, and then press into the pan.
• Then, mix your 1 cup of Crisco and sugar in a large bowl and beat until creamy, either by hand or with an electric mixer. Add in your eggs, one at a time, until fully mixed. Fold in the nuts and pineapple.
• Then, pour the filling into the crust, patting until even across the pan. Place into the fridge for now.
• Make two boxes of cherry Jell-O, allowing it to set. Then, pour your partly set Jell-O on top of the filling.
• Cover with aluminum foil and store in the fridge until Jell-O has set. When you're ready to serve, top with cool whip, spreading whip out evenly to cover the surface. Enjoy!
