      Layered Rainbow Jell-O Dessert A Classic Holiday Gelatin Dish

      Growing up in the Midwest Jell-O dishes are always included in big family gatherings. This Layered Rainbow Jell-O was always a favorite at all of our family gatherings. All of my cousins were always were excited to see my Grandmother had made it for our Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations! Now I am planning on passing on the recipe to my little one who helped me make it last night for the first time! I will warn you though, this recipe takes a good 7 hours to make, but there is a good amount of time in between layers you can use to make other dishes or complete other tasks like cleaning!

      Preparing To Make Your Layered Rainbow Jell-O

      To start the preparation process for your Layered Rainbow Jell-O gather all of your ingredients and supplies. I would suggest lining up your Jello-O boxes in the order you will use them in to prevent errors. They should be layered starting with the Raspberry then progressed to Cherry, Lime, Lemon, Orange and finally Strawberry.

      You will also need 2 measuring cups that measure at least 1 cup, a whisk, spatula, and a spoon.

      Layering Your Jell-O

      Continue with boiling 1 cup of water and mixing in the first box of Jell-O (the raspberry). Mix the Jell-O powder well with the water using a whisk, for at least 1-2 minutes or until all of the powder is dissolved. Then split your Jell-O mixture in half (If you are using traditional, not sugar free Jell-O this will put 3/4 Cup in each measuring cup). Use a spoon to remove as many of the air bubbles from the top of the Jell-O mixture as you can.

      Then mix in 1/3 Cup of sour cream to one half of the Jell-O Mixture. Use the whisk to mix the Jell-O and sour cream well. Continue with removing as many air bubbles from the top of the Jell-O mixture as you can with a spoon again, this will prevent you from having to do it later.

      After you have removed the air bubbles, pour your creamy Jell-O mixture into a 9×13 dish. I like to use a glass dish. This will allow you to see the beautiful layers! Then remove any bubbles that were created with a spoon.

      Chilling Your Layered Rainbow Jell-O

      Then chill your first layer in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (Trust me on this no less time will be enough — I trialed it all for you)!

      While your first layer is chilling, add in 1 Tablespoon of cold water to your clear Jell-O mixture this will help your Jell-O to set in the right consistency and for your layers to appear more even.

      After your first layer has chilled for 30 minutes, pour your clear Raspberry Jell-O over your creamy Raspberry Jell-O. Remove any bubbles that occur with the pouring process with a spoon.

      Chill your second layer in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then repeat the process with the remaining flavors of Jell-O Cherry, Lime, Lemon, Orange, and Strawberry.

      Once you have all layers complete — approximately 6 hours into making your Layered Rainbow Jell-O place your Rainbow Jell-O into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour prior to serving.

    • Cinnamon and Sugar Pretzels

      Easy Semi-Homemade Cinnamon and Sugar Party Pretzels

      cinnamon and sugar party pretzels

      With things being so different this year, once of the many things I have missed so much are those little mini cinnamon and sugar donuts from the fair! These cinnamon and sugar party pretzels have hit the spot a few times this summer with the sweet and saltiness together it is the perfect pair. Plus they are simple to make!

      Preparation of Cinnamon and Sugar Party Pretzels

      Begin with preheating your oven to 300°.

      Then dump your pretzels into a large mixing bowl. Pour over your butter flavored popcorn popping oil and mix well until all pretzels appear to be covered.

      Continue with sprinkling over the granulated white sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well until all pretzels appear covered with the sugar solution.

      Mixing in cinnamon and sugar to the pretzels.

      Spread your pretzels out evenly on a jelly roll, sheet cake pan, or cookie sheet with sides. You can also use a 9×13 pan if you don’t have any of the others available, but I would suggest baking your pretzels slightly longer if you go this route.

      Baking

      Bake your pretzels at 300° for 30 minutes. Makes sure to stir your pretzels every 10 minutes to make sure they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pan.

      Let your pretzels cool for 30-60 minutes before placing them in an airtight container for storage.
