Jello Fun

Jello rainbow cups:

Make Jello according to package directions. In your chosen cups, pour the first color of Jello and refrigerate. Make the second color and have it sitting on the counter ready to pour 30 minutes later. Repeat with each color. Allow 4 hours total to set.

Jello fruit slices:

Fruits that work well are lemons, limes and oranges.

Wash fruit well. Slice chosen fruit(s) in half. Carefully run a paring knife around the edges of each half, loosening the fruit from the pith (the pith is the white thread-like material between the fruit’s peel and the fruit itself). Use a mellon baller or spoon to peel away the fruit from one end. After that, you can just pull it all out with your fingers. (Save the insides to use for making lemon or lime-aid or the insides of the oranges for snacking.)

Position the fruit halves in a devided egg plate if you have one. If not, position them on a dish towel-lined baking sheet.

Make lemon Jello according to package directions, using 1/2 cup less liquid than called for. Slowly pour the Jello into the fruit halves. Transfer to your refrigerator and allow to set.

Once set, prior to serving, carefully slice each half in half, making quarters.

Enjoy!
