Jelly? Nope! Jell-O!

My dad loves Jell-O. And he really loves Jell-O with bananas in it. So I made him that kind of Jell-O for Father's Day. It was very good, though it got kinda flat. Mom said it was because I didn't use a Jell-O mold. But who cares what it looks like as long as it tastes good? So we didn't care. It was a two-layer Jell-O, with lime with the bananas in it on top, and cherry on the bottom. I liked how the bananas looked when I was eating it, like it was a three-layer Jell-O instead of a two layer one. On another Jell-O note, Dad told me about this really cool website called The Jell-O Mold Mistress of Brooklyn. It's really cool some of the stuff she can do. I got this recipe from Kids' Kitchen, by Amanda Grant

Here it is! The whole time I was making it my mouth was watering. I love Jell-O.















                                                           Two-Tone Jell-O
                                                                    Ingredients


Some sort of fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries (On the Jell-O box it says not to use pineapple, kiwi, gingerroot, papaya, figs, or guava)

1 package strawberry Jell-O

1 package blackberry Jell-O (As you know, I used lime and cherry instead.)



1. Pick over the fruit, removing any stems. If you are using strawberries, cut any large ones in half. Put the fruit into a large bowl or Jell-O mold

2. Put large saucepan of water on the stove. Using kitchen scissors cut the strawberry Jell-O  into pieces. Put it into a large pitcher and carefully pour over one cup of boiling water. Stir continuously until the Jell-O is completely dissolved. Add one cup of cold water to the pitcher and stir well.

       *I guess they used some sort of pre-made Jell-O, but I used the powdered stuff and edited it a little bit.

3. Leave to cool for ten minutes then carefully pour the liquid Jell-O over the fruit. All the fruit will float to the surface.

4. Leave to cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and put into the refrigerator and leave to set-this will take about two hours depending on how cold your refrigerator is.

5. When it is set make the blackberry Jell-O. Put the large saucepan with water in again. Cut the next layer of Jell-O into pieces and using kitchen scissors and put into a clean large pitcher.

6. Carefully pour over one cup boiling water. Stir continuously until the Jell-O has completely dissolved. Add one cup of cold water to the pitcher and stir well. Leave to cool for ten minutes.

7. Take the already set strawberry Jell-O out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap. Carefully pour the blackberry Jell-O over the strawberry Jell-O. Leave to cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and put back into the fridge and leave until the Jell-O is completely set.

8. To turn it out, dip the bottom of the bowl into a sink full of hot water for a few seconds. Lift the bowl out and place it on a dish towel. Put an upside-down wet plate on the top of the bowl, the quickly turn it over so the Jell-O comes out onto the plate.
