Patriotic Gelatin Salad Recipe

This is a great alternative to high fat desserts. Make sure the top layer is not the white one. It is not as firm as the others and will sort of "melt" when you invert it. Just a little tip from experience...

I don't know well you'd taste the sour cream with the sugar.  I know in sour cream donuts you don't taste it hardly at all, just helps give it a different texture.

Lots of fun ideas with this one now I just need a jello mold.

thanks--I'll give it a try. Like I said, i only paid 50 cents. Worse case scenario is that I end up selling it in my garage sale for at least that! :)

My friend had this flag pan and she used it 2 ways. 

For the jello   receipe ,she layered a blue layer, 2nd layer was red , the third layer was the white layer.  After all the layers; you add blueberrys all across the star section, then strawberrys along the stripe section.For accuracy, only smoothe the white sections where the white should be and leave the red blanks for the fruit.

She also made a cake with the pan  only  icing the whole cake white and then drawing with  a tooth pick where the stars and stripes should go(eye ball it) and then add your blueberries and strawberries

Hope this helps!

Help!  I found a Jello flag mold at the Goodwill the other day. I realize it's too late for the 4th, but there will be other oppotunities. What I need help with, is the layering. It is the shape of a wavy flag (approx. 9 x 13 cake pan in size). There is an indention for the area of the stars and an indention every other stripe.  I'm at a loss.  The indentions are not very deep at all--like maybe a quarter of an inch, if that.  Any suggestions? I'd be appreciative. I only paid 50 cents, so I figured no harm if I couldn't get a good recipe and instructions on how to use the silly thing!!!

Many thanks!

mas Eve dinner. use card in recipe box to remind of seasonal

ideas and locations of recipes.

Why not use lime jello in place of the blue and serve at Christmas. You can use cream cheese instead of the sour cream or mix the sour cream and cream cheese together to lighten the taste of sour cream. I bet if we checked there might possibly be some fall colors to make this salad a tasty item for Thanksgiving. MJP

This might a neat treat for several holidays if someone could find a way to get rid of the sour cream. Yuk!

I agree, too late for this year, too bad. Sounds very good though, maybe will try it next year
