Been drinking some sour cherry juice, like the taste only it is too sour and concentrated. So I mix some water and sugar into it and keep a big glass in the fridge. Also will make large pearl tapioca with it.
Just made some plain watermelon jello to see what it tastes like. Saved a recipe from Just A Pinch for a watermelon pie, baked pie shell, 2 cups 1-inch cubed, seeded watermelon pieces folded into 12 oz. Cool Whip and 1 sm packet Watermelon jello dissolved into 1/4 cup of boiling water (never used that little water before). Looks good but I will never get everything made I save recipes for.
Need a lg box lime jello for a 50's recipe I'm looking forward to. Pieces of pears cut up into a mixture of the lime jello and 8 oz. cream cheese. My mom useed to make a cream cheese frosting over 9 pear halves in a square glass dish but I like the light green color and pear pieces.
Finally I need just a couple more things to make this yummy rainbow rotini pasta. Bought some ready made, ingredients say golden Italian dressing, can't find it in non-restaurant size but found an olive-something marinade and some Kraft zesty which ought to do the job. Also the rotini, red onion, grape tomatoes, 2 or more kinds of small cubes of cheese, pieces of green pepper, carrots I have to grate 'cuz can't chew pieces of raw and what else? Olives! Big pimento stuffed green ones and pitted black ones. Could also use the kalamata ones or whatever they are, have a jar in the fridge.
So that's about it for now. But am really hungry for some home-made potato salad, very simple, potatoes cut up, hard boiled eggs, 2 or 3 kinds of mustard, green onions chopped and 1/2 Miracle Whip and 1/2 Hellman's. I have my mom's recipe for double boiler potato salad dressing but it is too sweet, good if you're low of mayo and could cut down the sugar. Maybe i've lost that recipe, haven't seen it for awhile.
The book I mentioned, ‘Square Meals’, has an entire chapter entitled ‘Jell-O - The Chef’s Magic Powder’.
I remember the Mid-West women I’ve met, who’ve told me that the Jell-O Salad was a mainstay of Church luncheons and dinners that they remember from youth...
I make lemonade with about a quarter cup of sour cherry concentrate per pitcher. Is pretty tasty if you want to try that.
“Need a lg box lime jello for a 50’s recipe I’m looking forward to. Pieces of pears cut up into a mixture of the lime jello and 8 oz. cream cheese.”
I have several canned mason jars of pears I need to use up. I LOVE that lime-pear thing. Thanks for the reminder!
I had that lime pear cream cheese jello once, years ago. It was YUMMY! Sounds like your potato salad is pretty close to mine, except I have to put celery and celery seed and sweet relish in it. I ran out of miracle whip last time I made it, but I had a jar of dukes mayo, so I used that instead of my Hellmans, with some vinegar and sugar. Tasted great, and I’m picky.
