Do you put anything IN your Jello?

[Marie5656]

Was just discussing Jello with a friend. I remember at holidays my mom would make black cherry jello. Then would chop up walnuts and softened up cream cheese, Make them into little balls...a bit smaller than a marble and mix them into the Jello when it was a bout half way set..so they would be floating in it. Tasted pretty good. She would yell and me and my dad for snacking on the little balls before she could mi them in

Nope, not even Jell-o, haven't had any in many years.

Utah is infamous for it's Jell-o salads and more, I try to maintain a safe distance...

This is the kind of jello we discussed in RadishRoses thread , that’s a tad on the scary side.

In trifle I have stuff in the jello part

Love me some jello salad sometimes!! Put in mixed fruit or carrots and pineapple. Or lemon jello with pineapple and marshmallows

We used to always put bananas.

My mom also made a version of jello w/the walnuts and cream cheese in it too.
But, she somehow blended the other stuff in. We always had it at Christmas time.

Here's my TMI tidbit for today... Jello makes me gag. Seriously, though... there's not much that I can't/won't eat, but jello makes that short list.

Not a big jello fan although I do have a recipe for a cranberry salad that calls for jello and it is good.

Pineapple, coconut, and marshmallows I really like in jello

Mandarin orange in orange jello...kids loved.

My mother would make a lime jello mold with pineapple and shredded carrots. I hated that thing. Somebody always made it for church suppers and I'm make a big detour around it.

I make a sort of pie of a mixture of black cherry jello made with half the water and then, when cooled, mixed with a tub of Kool Whip. Then you pour it in a graham cracker crust and refrigerate til set. Pure trailer park trash cookin' but there's never a speck left when I take it to a party. It's one of those "guilty pleasures". It's sweet and cold and creamy. The hell with the calories and the red dye # whatzit.

Jello contains pork (the actual gelatin), so I no longer eat it. I bought halal gelatin a long time ago and wound up not making it. Halal means Muslim approved. We can also eat foods labeled Kosher.

Sure...my spoon.
