I'm still on my campaign to bring Jello molds back to holiday tables everywhere folks:@) While today's contribution isn't anything too ground breaking, it ~is~ one the kids (and kids of all ages) will like! This Berry Merry Christmas Jello Mold starts with raspberry Jello, and we bump up the fruity goodness with some well drained mandarin oranges, and cinnamon adds a little warm spice. The idea was to keep it fruity friendly for the kids, and to keep all that "weird" crunchy stuff out... Like celery and nuts, as some might say. Now, you know your crowd... By all means add in anything that sounds good, and I'm thinking a handful of blueberries would be great.
Such pretty color,
one son eats it with dinner, the other for dessert:@)

These sort of jello salads used to be a fixture on our holiday table! I actually made Jello for Thanksgiving this year....and will have to break out some molds for next time. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like to eat mine with dinner, too! Your Jello mold is very kid friendly, Lynn, and the addition of cinnamon sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNum...wonder if they are making cranberry Jello this year, I will have to check...love the idea of the oranges in this! Hugs, Sandi
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I always used to bring a Jello mold to big family Christmas gatherings way back when :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a jelly mold but they bring back such memories from my childhood. Both my mum and my nan would use them often. Yours sounds delicious.
