Who doesn’t love a little J-E-L-L-O? Its colorful, its sweet, and most importantly its got a great jiggle! I was so surprised to learn that Jello has been around since 1897! This sweet little cookbook titled” Today….what salad…what dessert? JELLO brings DOZENS of answers…..” is from 1928. Let me tell you, there are some interesting recipes in this little paper cookbook! The best one (and most disgusting) was Tuna Fish Salad – just the thought of Jello and Tuna – yuck!
Thankfully this recipe has all the right ingredients – sugar, cream, jello, marshmallows and strawberries! It was super easy and I would highly recommend for any beginner jello chef. It was also super convenient, because I was able to give my new heart jello molds a try!
The best sentence from the cookbook was, ” Jell-O is like the princess in the fairy tale; it is as good as it is beautiful. It’s so remarkably easy to digest that the children can have second portions, too!” Oh goodie! These recipes crack me up, I hope you give one a try! Here is the recipe!
