Homemade Rhubarb Juice, Jell-O is one of the ingredients.
By Kevin Williams
I am paying homage to my grandma today, which would have been her 92 birthday. Â Grandma was a great cook and enjoyed baking. She wasn't the type of person that did a ton of scratch baking, she didn't make loads of yeast breads or anything fancy. She tended to stick more to apple and custard pies and the occasional pumpkin. Â But if she didn't make those she would always have a bowl of Jell-O. Â The most wonderful part of her Jell-O would be her slicing plump slices of banana into it. Â So you would eat her Jell-O and then encounter a cold, soft piece of banana. Yum.
So, in tribute to my Jell-O loving grandma here are 5 Amish recipes that use Jell-O:
HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY PUDDING: Â Try this spring classic. Yum!
CRANBERRY JELL-O SALAD: Â Â This is a favorite from our Brethren writer, Rosanna.
STRAWBERRY JELL-O CAKE: Â You'll find this at almost any Amish gathering, it's an old standby, underrated but it is a workhorse dessert that is a crowd-pleaser. Click here for the recipe.
HOMEMADE RHUBARB JUICE: Â Really good stuff, one of the most refreshing non-soda beverages I've ever had! Click here for the recipe.
JELL-O COOKIES: Â Bought these at an Amish bakery in northern Ohio. Â A delicious, soft cookie, click here for the recipe.
