I never get it right when I add fruits to partially set jello...either do it to soon or too late. About how long should this dish partially set in the fridge before I add the fruits?
I confess that I have not made this recipe although I would like to. I encountered a problem reconciling the ingredients with the directions. I don't understand how anyone who reviewed it actually made it by the posted recipe. There are no bananas listed in the ingredients but the directions at step 2 instruct us to fold them in. I gave 1 star only because the recipe is not complete so it is not accurate. Can you correct that please?
This is a long-time favorite Easter recipe at our house. We sometimes add some grated carrot and/or coconut and/or chopped walnuts. Easy and yummy.
I grew up surrounded by the old timers in my family who survived the depression era. They were fond of jello. The fondness continues on!
It was so easy (and quick) to make! It was wonderful. You do have to watch it carefully when it is chilling though, as it chills quite a bit faster than your typical jello salad. It is a great and colorful addition to a summer meal!
This is a standout jello! It's really easy to make and tastes terrific. With the orange sherbet, I think it would be just as good as a dessert as a side dish, especially in summer. As make-ahead dishes, jellos are great time-savers.
