WHAT TO MAKE WITH JELLO RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare the mold and chill the fruit: Coat a 10-cup Bundt pan or gelatin mold with cooking spray. Wipe with a paper towel to make sure there are no puddles of spray and the pan is well-coated. Rinse, dry, and cut strawberries into quarters. Stem and pit cherries. Refrigerate the fruit until needed.
• Bloom the gelatin: Place the gelatin with 1 cup of the cranberry juice in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside to bloom while preparing the rest of the mixture.
• Heat the juice and sugar: Heat the remaining 6 cups cranberry juice and sugar in a medium saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a bare simmer.
• Melt the gelatin: Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat, add the gelatin mixture, and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
• Divide the cranberry mixture: Measure off 3 cups of the cranberry mixture (a large glass measuring cup works best for this). Pour the remaining cranberry mixture into a large bowl.
• Cool the gelatin mixture and add the fruit: Place the bowl of cranberry-gelatin mixture over an ice bath. Cool the mixture, stirring regularly, until quite thick and it has a hair gel-like texture to ensure that the fruit doesn't float when added, about 30 minutes. Once thickened, carefully fold in the fruit.
• Refrigerate the fruit layer: Pour the gelatin-fruit mixture into the prepared mold. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Make the creamy layer: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the remaining 3 cups gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Cool at room temperature until the fruit-filled gelatin sets.
• Add the creamy layer mold: Once the fruit-filled gelatin is set, carefully pour the creamy gelatin mixture into the prepared pan. Avoid pouring in one spot. Instead, steadily pour the creamy mixture in while turning the pan.
• Refrigerate until set: Refrigerate the whole pan until set, about 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• Unmold and serve: To remove the gelatin from the mold, carefully invert the mold onto a serving plate and let the mold fall gently from the mold onto the plate. This will take 2 to 3 minutes. (If it does not come out, fill the sink or large, wide pot — wider than your mold — with warm tap water. Dip the outside of the mold in the water for 10 seconds. Remove from the water, dry the outside of the mold, and flip out onto a serving plate.) Cut into slices and serve.

Steps:

• In a large multi-cup measuring cup (I use my 4 cup Pyrex), add all of the reserved pineapple juice and then add enough water to the juice to make a total of 2 cups. Pour into pot and bring just to a boil.
• Add the lime Jell-o mixes to the boiling pineapple juice/water and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool just slightly.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayo and evaporated milk. Combine until very smooth. Slowly stir in the Jell-o mixture until all is incorporated with the mayo/milk mixture. Stir in the crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, and walnuts.
• Pour mixture into an 8×8″ glass casserole pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred).
