Preparation / Directions:For Measuring: Use a standard measuring cup. A standard measuring cup is one-half pint. Measure one pint (2 cups) of water or other liquid for each package ofJell-O; one cup of liquid for one-half package, if smaller recipe is needed. One package contains eight tablespoons (level) of Jell-O.
For Dissolving: Use exact amount of water or other liquid specified in the recipe. The liquid used to dissolve Jell-O must be boiling. It should he stirred until JellO is dissolved.
For Molding: A metal mold chills more quickly than one of enamel or earthenware. Turn Jell-O into mold. Chill, allowing Jell-O to remain In mold until firm.
For Cooling: Let mold stand in cold water or cool plate. When cool, chill until firm. Time required varies with size and shape of mold. Usually, two hours are needed in a good refrigerator. If necessary to prepare Jell-O more quickly, dissolve it in one cup of boiling liquid, then add remaining liquid cold. Time may be shortened still more by placing mold in mixture of crushed ice and salt.
For Molding Fruits, Vegetables, etc., in Layers: Pour a thin layer of JellO in bottom of mold. Chill until firm. On this arrange fruits, etc., as desired, then add carefully with a spoon enough cold, liquid Jell-O to hold them in place. but not to cover them. When firm add more cold, liquid Jell-O. Additional layers of fruits and Jell-O may be added by repeating process until mold is full. Raw pineapple cannot be used successfully with Jell-O. Use cooked or canned pineapple. To fix fruit in an upright posirion. fill mold two-thirds full with Jello: When thickened, press fruit into plate and fill mold with cold, liquid or whipped Jell-O.
For Adding Fruits, Vegetables, Whipped Cream, Beaten Egg Whites: Jell-O should be cold and sufficiently thickened to hold these additions suspended evenly throughout. Cream or egg whites should be stiffly beaten and folded in gradually, while turning Jell-O over and over with a tablespoon to blend ingredients.
For Whipping: To whip successfully, Jell-O must be cold and slightly thickened. A rather deep, round-bottom bowl, set in a pan of cold water, is best for this purpose. Beat with a rotary egg beater until all of the Jell-O is of the consistency of whipped cream.
For Layer Jell-O: Chill each layer until firm before adding another layer. It is important that Jell-O, poured upon a firm layer, be cold but not thickened.
For Unmolding: Be sure Jell-O is firm. Dip mold up to the edge in vessel of warm water. Hold in water a moment, remove, and wipe dry. Place plate over mold and turn them over together. Shake slightly and lift off mold. If not successful first rime, repeat dipping process. If water is too warm, shape of mold is spoiled.
