CLASSIC HOLIDAY RIBBON SQUARES (JELLO)

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of gelatin in separate medium bowls at least 2 minutes, until dissolved.
• Stir 3/4 cup of the cold water into the red gelatin.
• Pour into 9-inch square pan.
• Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until set but not firm to the touch (gelatin should still stick to the finger when touched).
• Meanwhile, stir lemon gelatin gradually into cream cheese in large bowl with whisk until smooth.
• (I use the blender for this step, because I don't like lumpy Jello).
• Stir in pineapple with the juice.
• Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
• Stir in whipped topping and mayonnaise.
• Spoon over red gelatin layer in pan.
• Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set, but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger and should mound).
• Meanwhile, stir remaining 3/4 cold water into lime gelatin.
• Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).

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.
