RAINBOW RIBBON DESSERT
1 (3 oz.) package (each flavor) raspberry, lime, orange, lemon, and strawberry
Jell-O
6-1/4 cups water
1-1/4 cups evaporated milk
Dissolve raspberry Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water. Remove 1/2 of Jell-O to a bowl
and add 1/4 cup cold
water. Place into a 9-inch square pan. Place in refrigerator until slightly
firm. To the remaining half of
Jell-O, add 1/4 cup evaporated milk. Cool and place over slightly firm layer in
pan. Continue procedure with remaining flavors of Jell-O in this order -lime,
orange, lemon, and strawberry. Cool each mixture before layering. Chill
completely. Cut into squares to serve. Yield: serves 8 to 12
Tip: My mother shared this recipe with me. Layering the simple ingredients is
the hardest part, but it's worth the effort. This dessert is so beautiful that
along with the rainbow will come a pot of golden
compliments.
