Happy Fourth Of July!
Land of the free and home of the brave!
Red, White and Blue Jello
2 small boxes red jello
2 boxes blue jello
4 c. boiling water
2 envelopes Knox gelatin or equivalent, 1/2 c. cold water plus 1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
Make 2 boxes red jello with 2 c. boiling water only and pour into pan. Chill. Repeat with blue jello and other 2 c. boiling water. Sprinkle 2 envelopes Knox gelatin over 1/2 c. cold water in bowl. Let sit until dissolved. Add 1 1/2 c. boiling water to Knox mixture and stir to dissolve fully. Add can of sweetened condensed milk to Knox mixture and cool, but do not let harden. Cut hardened red and blue jello into shapes or blocks. Scatter in 9 x 13 pan. Gently pour cooled Knox/milk mix over. (If it is warm it will melt your jello.) Chill until firm. Cut into squares or scoop directly from pan with spoon. We cut star shapes and put the scraps on the bottom, poured the milk mixture on top and then laid the stars over the top for this look.
