    These jello salads are quite something! I grew up eating different types made by my mother, aunts, grandmothers. With Thanksgiving dinner my aunts always made a lime green one with carrots, pineapple, and walnuts. My mother-in-law loved her jello salads more than anyone. Her specialties were a green, red and white ribbon one for Christmas, a rainbow-layered one. I've also had many raspberry, creamcheese pretzel ones, and red strawberry ones with fruit compote inside. 🤣 Personally I do not make them.

      @@MarieClaire7 they aren't my favorite, I don't love the texture of jello (it is really sweet too). I am in my 30s and my parents' generation grew up with them and continued making them. Jello salads feed a lot of people cheaply and were seen as an economical way to feed a large group or large family. I guess I feed my kids fruit smoothies and chopped fresh fruit and veggies instead 🤷‍♀️ I do have fond memories of the jello because of who made them and the occasions where it was served.

      I have a question for you, how sweet do you remember a good Jell-o salad being? When I read those vintage salad recipes, I wonder whether the "lime Jell-o" they called for was less sweet than the modern lime Jell-o you'd find in grocery stores. In this video, she used unflavored gelatin with lime juice, which would indeed be less sweet, and mentioned that she had the same theory about the sweetness of the gelatin being different. What do you think..? Cheers!

    I remember my family serving Jello side dishes "back in the day", but when I went through my Mom's recipe box the only savory one found was for tomato aspic. If she didn't have plain Jello, then lemon would work, since the recipe called for lemon juice. She always had trouble "de-molding" back then, and that was a pretty often occurrence, so don't feel so bad about your "plating" challenge. A Norwegian friend still likes gelled dishes, and they were common where he grew up. Really enjoyed your video!

Another of her go-to jello sides was lime jello with shaved carrots in it.

    One thing that might make it easier to make is to make the jello separately. While the jello is heating up - put the other ingredients in a separate bowl. When all of the ingredients are in the 2nd bowl - put them into the pan with the jello. More flavor from the gelatin and flavorings.

They usually on the sweet side - cranberry sauce in strawberry jello, with an apple cut up into small bits , celery,chopped pecans and pineapple , also cut up small. It was very very good. Another was lemon jello with fruit all cut up in it - sort of a fruit salad in jello.It was both pretty and delicious.At our house they were made in various molds my Mom owned and placed on a bed of lettuce on the plate, a sauce made with mayo was served with it , or if it was being served as dessert , whipped cream was served with it. My mother also occasionally made a lemon jello with salad vegetables served in it - sliced radishes, peppers, cucumbers,grated carrots celery ( they all seemed to have celery.). It seemed they were made in the summer and we'd have cold meat with them like chicken or ham.

Another wonderful recipe from that cookbook is called Bavarian and is a delicious mixture of red jello and whipping cream. Some of the savories are a bit too much and I’ve never liked the orange jello mixed with pineapple tidbits and grated carrot 😛. My aunties and grandmothers were proud of the jello molds they collected as well, and it was a lovely skill to be able to successfully unmold a jello creation.

    You can put hot pans in a fridge, it won’t harm them. I’d place it on a pot holder on the shelf in your fridge. It’s hot glass that could crack if you go from heat to cold.
    That is a silicone Bundt pan. Traditionally, Bundt pans are metal.
    Jello salads were often used as a side dish, or for a ladies luncheon with shrimp or chicken, cherry tomatoes, etc.
    Unfortunately, I think it came out a little mushy because, believe it or not, there was too much liquid (extra water & lime juice; best to use lime jello), plus, you used a mixer when the veggies should have been slowly folded in by hand. But honestly, good for you for even attempting this!! It doesn’t look so bad at all. I remember older relatives making this, but it definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. So happy that you enjoyed it!

    You brought back sweet memories of my Mom making jello salads. One I loved was lime jello, cottage cheese and crushed pineapple. Another was cherry jello, diced apples canned cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple and celery, topped with a little bit of cream cheese. A savory one she made had lime jello, shredded carrots, green bell pepper, celery and sliced stuffed green olives, with a spoonful of mayo on top. I didn't care for that one. I would try your version without the sweetened jello.Thanks for sharing.

    Your chickens are precious! So sweet :). I've heard that if you dip the jello mould in warm water before plating it, that it pops out easier. I don't know may be worth a try :)

    Girl, I really admire your bravery in trying out a savory gelatin! They’ve always kind of scared me, but this one actually looked pretty yummy. Putting it on a cracker was genius! I wonder if it would also be good spread on some toast or on a sandwich.
    Wonderful video as always! Your chickens are so adorable!

    Both my husband and I saw that bowl come out of the fridge and said "that jello is already set, it won't set again!" But you made the best of it! We lucked out with families that ate a lot of fruit in jello and Ambrosia and we didn't have to do any of those savory things! You are so brave! Everyone's older Aunts or Grandma's had those copper fish molds hanging on the walls for these dishes though!! Really love your chickens & your channel! 👍👍

    • @BillHosler
      @BillHosler 3 роки тому +1

      The ones with the cream cheese were the best. I think I can remember it with maraschino cherries. I’m think orange or strawberry. I can remember being served jello at school with shredded lettuce, carrots and grapes. Btw Sage. Most of the time we ever had it we had it served as a side dish.

    My mother made plain lime Jello with shredded carrots and sliced celery in it. She served it chilled with a dollop of Miracle Whip salad dressing on top. It was a refreshing sweet and sour side dish for our summer lunches. I loved it!
    Recently, I purchased the ingredients to make it for my own kids, and they looked at me like I was crazy. LOL

  • @annettevanderklippe1653

    My Mom always made a lime jello, shredded cabbage, carrots and mayonaise salad that was a favourite at our place. It was sweet but most people use very sweet dressings on their green salads so what's so weird about that? Mom never unmolded them - she poured the whole mixture into a lovely glass bowl and served it in the bowl. It was a part of all our summer picnics, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve celebrations, served as a vegetable side dish. I really enjoyed the sweet and tangy crunch. Your video brings back great memories, and your chickens are highly entertaining!

    Hello Sage, I adore Maude and Mabel and its obvious they feel the same about you! I still make a jellied salad at Christmas to serve with all my other salads. Mine is more a jellied coleslaw made with lime jelly, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, chopped pineapple and finely sliced cabbage. I also include finely chopped red capsicum but no soup mix, and some salt and pepper. Is so refreshing and very pretty once set because the jelly is transparent. Being vegan I use a vegan gelatine with lime syrup added. So delicious! Warm wishes 🐾🥰

    It looks so interesting! Yeah I think the last generation to eat savoury jellies was probably the 70's. I know during the Victorian era they had calf's foot jelly and jugged hare and back in the medieval period the wealthy would present savoury jellies made from different vegetables for their colour, rather than their taste. I have been so inspired by you and your videos, fellow Melbournian and I decided today to buy that cook book and I can't wait to try it!

    Thank you for validating the fact that my mother used to put vegetables in lime jello! That went out of style early, but finely grated carrot in orange jello +/-pineapple or raisins - well into the 80s.

    My sister-in-law used to make tomato aspic…which is the same as tomato jello (or jelly, as you would say) horrible stuff !! I have made orange/lemon jello with crushed pineapple and grated carrots which is actually pretty good…sort of sweet and savory all at the same time…and it looks nice. I love your video’s and the bonus of seeing your cute chickens just makes my day.
