Poll question: Jell-O: Favorite Flavor? |
|
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 03:15 PM by SacredCow
I just recently came to re-discover the jiggly goodness of Jell-O. Yeah, it really has no food value- but the sugar-free variety is almost completely devoid of calories, too- so you can eat the whole bowl and not really feel too bad about it!
So what flavors do you like?

2. I'm kind of partial to orange, too.... |
|
The only flavor that I don't really care for is raspberry- there's just something funny about it to me.

3. A good recipe for potlucks is this: |
|
3 pkgs. raspberry jello (the smaller boxes) 3 cans stewed tomatoes (14 oz. I think) 6 drops Tabasco sauce
Bring 1 cup of water to boil, and place it in a large bowl. Add all the jell-o and stir until dissolved. Add all the tomatoes and the Tabasco and stir thoroughly. Pour into molds. This makes a tomato aspic with a sweetness and a spiciness. Everyone will be guessing what is in it. Serve with a bowl of sour cream on the side as a topping.

that sounds vile, but further consideration makes me think it might be kind of interesting.... I think I would try it with the extra-spicy Ro-Tel tomatoes....

12. I would try it first as the recipe is |
|
you could try a sample of it by just using one package of jell-o, one can of stewed tomatoes and 1/3 cup hot water, and 2 drops Tabasco, and see how you like that. If you like stuff really spicy then tally ho, whatever works for you. It sounds like a strange mixture but I really like it. It's unusual and kind of mysterious but tasty. I guarantee people will ask, "What's in this?" If you like tomato aspic then you'll like this recipe.

13. I was definitely thinking of trying a small batch first.... |
|
I've not found much that was too spicy for me- I think most of us here in Louisiana have fried the heat receptors in our mouths... :rofl:

10. I didn't know Altoids have gelatin in them.... |
|
I wonder why? Just to absorb moisture, maybe?
I dunno- maybe I'm weird, but the origin of gelatin doesn't bother me in the slightest.

18. If you get plain (unflavored) gelatin, you can ... |
|
... make it with any juice you choose, no sweetening necessary. I like grapefruit flavored, nice and refreshing.

...with black cherries in it. My mother once passed on to me the knowledge that pairing a Jell-O flavor with a complementary fruit improves it so mightily that it can serve as a dessert by itself. Even Orange is given new life with the addition of white-trashy canned Mandarin oranges. Don't take my word for it; try it yourself.
