Yesterday I made Rainbow Jelly with my cousins and my family friends. Well, actually the real recipe for Rainbow Jelly is with 8 different layers of jelly in one cup. Since doing that would take hours to do, I stuck with 2 different layers. I don't like jelly, but when I make it with JUICE, it comes out so good. :)
Rainbow Jelly:
- Packets of flavored jelly or non-flavored jelly (assorted to match the taste of the juice)
- 1C water (for each packet of jelly)
- 1C juice (for each packet of jelly), and as many different juices as you want with each layer. (thicker and/or deeper juices like orange or grape are best)
- Clear cups (to show off the colors)
- Pour 1C of water into a pot and wait until boiling.
- Take your first jello packet and pour it all into the water; mix until fully dissolved.
- Turn off the heat then pour the 1C of juice in (the one that matches the jelly flavor).
- Cool it until lukewarm then begin to divide the mix into cups (if you want to use the flavor again for another layer, make sure to save at least half).
- Refrigerate at least 1hr or until the jelly layer if firm enough (poke it with your finger).
- After firm, take it out and repeat steps 1-5 again. Do these steps for every layer you put until satisfied.
- Serve fresh after every layer is firm, or leave overnight. Garnish and serve.
TIPS
- You can add different fresh fruits into the jelly layers. Cut into small pieces and add to the jelly mixture. I used raspberries, but other common ones are blueberries, strawberries, grapes, canned peaches, etc.
- Garnishing includes whipped cream, mint leaves, flavored syrup, etc.
- Make sure each layer if FIRM ENOUGH before putting another layer. If it isn't, it can mix with the bottom layer (that has happened to me and it tasted bad).
