Thanksgiving 2010

Making the Bishop Rainbow Jello Salad has gotten easier since I have my kitchen helpers!!!!!!! Carson and Jessie (and the dinosaur resurrected from the attic!) stirred the 4 layers of jello!

Even though the recipe is time-consuming, with a little organization and preparation a yummy dessert will be enjoyed by all--especially the kids!

The bowl of jello can be placed in another bowl of HOT water to prevent it from setting....
...and left to sit for several hours. You may need to add HOT water!
This jello set up and was the true "spoiler" layer. When I added HOT water to the bottom bowl, some water got into the jello causing it to not set up!
We still enjoyed a tasty meal with my parents, sister and her two boys.

Aunt Kim and Jessie are partners for Pictionary!
Grandma Evans loves her Jessie
Jacob Hughes and Carson are really into drawing!


After our meal and NAP, the Bagleys and Wards visited and we all enjoyed a wide variety of pies.

My heart is filled with gratitude for the many blessings enjoyed by my friends and family!


Famous Bishop Striped Jello Salad

4 3 ounce packages jello (lemon, orange, lime, cherry) *Light jello is good as well
1 pint sour cream (2 cups)
2 cups milk
2 packets unflavored gelatin dissolved in ½ cup water
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar

Make all 4 flavors of jello using 1 ½ cup boiling water. Pour lemon into 9 x 13 pan and place fridge for 45 minutes to set. Heat milk until hot to touch (do not boil). Stir in softened plain gelatin till it dissolves, then add sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Add vanilla and sour cream. Use about 1 ½ cups of white jello per layer. Layer jello and sour cream mixture in order given. Be sure previous layer is set (about 30 minutes per layer). If jello thickens, place bowl of hot water underneath bowl to thin jello.
