The Joys of Jello
I just recently sold this 1962 recipe book "The Joys of Jello" from my shop.
Couldn't let it go without scanning and sharing some of the amazing Jell-O dishes!
Jell-O Gelatin first shimmered its way into American dining rooms in 1897.
Housewives liked it so much they invented all sorts of ingenious recipes using Jell-O. Why not serve your shrimps inside a Jello bowl?
Crown Jewel Dessert as a mold, a pie, and a spring-form pan dessert.
Vegetable Salads – three of many Jello salads you can make.
A multi stripe delight is a good start to any party!
Hungry anyone?

I have never liked Jello, but I think some of the things people make with it can be really pretty and, um, interesting.
Jello reminds me of the time when I was about 5, my Mum came into the dining room with a magnificent shaped green jello, she was very proud of it! She shook it slightly and called out laughing; "kikkerdril!" (frogspawn) No-one ate it...
@Lilac Yes, interesting is definitely the word!
@Elmtree. Haha Kikkerdril! If i heard mom say that, i wouldn't want it either! And now you say it, i remember us calling it Kikkerdril too! Lol, thanks for reminding me!
I love old pics of Jello dishes!
Some are so pretty but the thought of eating it makes me feel queasy. :))
Hope all is well with you darling.
We're currently planning a trip to NY and NJ in May or June.
Still up for a cup of coffee? :D
@Rascal Ofcourse i'm still up for coffee! And maybe some thriftstores if you have time? Nice time of year to visit NY, keep me posted!
Woah, my stomach just growled. These looks legitimately tasty. Some jello recipes in vintage books like terrifying!
Just crazy!
