Sorry about not updating Saturday, life happens >.<
Though I cooked Saturday, there wasn't the time to post.
At any rate, something that I like to eat on hot summer days is jello, and it's great since it's cool and smooth and very refreshing after a hot day in the sun. But, sometimes it gets a little boring to eat the same old thing over and over, so I decided to make some multi-color jello.
You can start by grabbing your favorite flavors of jello. I made a three layer three flavor combo, but you can use two flavors or layers if you like. Here's what I used to make my jello dessert, feel free to edit the list to your tastes:
- 1 pack of cherry jello
- 1 pack of lime jello
- 1 pack of raspberry jello
- strawberries
- mandarin orange slices (the ones in water/light syrup)
The first thing to do is prepare your jello according to the package's instructions, and allow it to set until firm. I chose to add fruits to mine before putting it in the fridge, and my suggestion is that if you want to arrange the fruits, that you'd better have a steady hand when placing the cup/bowl of unset jello into the fridge since the fruit moves easily.
Once your jello is set, prepare your second flavor of jello according to the directions, but don't pour it into your containers just yet. Allow it to sit in the fridge anywhere from 15-30 minutes so that it can cool down. My first layer was cherry.

| If you want thin strawberries, slice them slowly. |
Jello is jiggly~
Also, you could make this red (cherry, raspberry) white (pudding, whip cream) and blue (berry blue) for memorial day :)
Happy Memorial Day~
