J-E-L-L-O looking bright

A little broken can make you feel bright.

This Broken Glass Jello has been on my list to make for a long time. I just never really knew how it would taste. I eat it in marshmallow form but not really in Jello form, fruit favored. However this is the perfect potluck or picnic dish going into summer. It is bright, and forms a smile on kids and adults alike. When I brought it to a potluck, the response was "Is that Jello?" always said with a big smile! It is a perfect thing to make if you don't want to turn on the oven, or if you want a cool dish serve. Plus the colors can be changed for different occasions, perhaps red and blue with the white for a Memorial Day or 4th of July Picnic. I learned that using a smooth knife would have worked better to cut them. Also using container that were similar is size gave the colors a more even look.

Broken Glass Jello

From The Food Librarian   

4 small boxes (3 oz. each) of Jell-O or store brand "gelatin dessert" in different colors

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (don't get evaporated milk)
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 

- For each flavor, dissolve one box of jello in one cup of boiling water. Pour into a container and chill (I chilled it 2 hours until firm).
- After chilling the four flavors, cut them into small blocks.

- Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13 pan.

- In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight.

- Cut into blocks or shapes and serve!
