Gelatin Parfaits

Here's a fun twist on layered gelatin served in parfait glasses: Pour the first layer into the glasses, then tilt the glasses in the refrigerator while the gelatin sets. To do this, carefully lean the glasses against the side of the fridge and support the bases with a rolled towel. Once the first layer is firm, add the next layer and stand the glasses upright while it sets. This is an easy way to make your parfaits look impressive. —Mrs. Saburo Aburano, Ann Arbor, Michigan
