Red Striped Jello

Our neighbor recently had her tonsils removed, so this gave Kaitlyn and I the opportunity to make this fun red striped jello to share with her. It's just in time for Valentine's day too!

I found the recipe in a parenting magazine and it called for the following:
  • 3 box 3 ounces cherry jello
  • 3 0.25 ounce packets of unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 1/4 cup white grape juice
  • 2 cups water
In general, you add the two cups water to three boxes of cherry jello and 1 package of gelatin and bring to a boil for gelatin to dissolve. Pour 2/3 cup of cherry jello mixture into a separate bowl and mix with the yogurt to get your pink layer. In another bowl, combine 2 packets of gelatin with white grape juice for the white layer. Let sit for a few minutes and then microwave for one minute to dissolve gelatin.

Pour the red cherry jello layer first into an 8x8 pan/glass bowl followed by the pink and then white layer. Pour one layer at a time until just set (10 - 15 minutes in refrigerator) before adding the next layer. The process will take about 1 1/2 hours to complete.

As you can see, the jello passed the quality assurance test phase and the jello was delivered to her friend next door.
