JELL-O RULES
For measuring: Use standard measuring cup. Allow 1 pint (2 cups) liquid
to 1 package of Jell-O. Fruit juice may be used for all or part of liquid. One
package contains 8 level tablespoons of Jell-O.
For dissolving: Use exact amount of liquid specified. Liquid used to dis-
solve Jell-O must be boiling. It should be poured onto Jell-O and stirred
until Jell-O is entirely dissolved.
For molding: A metal mold chills more quickly than one of enamel or
earthenware. Turn Jell-O into mold. Chill in mold until firm.
For moldingfruits and vegetables: Chill dissolved Jell-O. When slightly thick-
ened, fold in fruits or vegetables. They will remain evenly suspended. In
general, 1 pint (2 cups) prepared fruits or vegetables are used with 1
package of Jell-O.
For chilling: Cool Jell-O before chilling to avoid wasting ice or raising the
temperature of the refrigerator. For quick chilling, use the freezing trays
of an automatic refrigerator. Or, place the mold of Jell-O in a pan of
cracked ice and salt, ice water, or snow.
For tray-chilled delicacies: Any Jell-O dish may be chilled quickly and
successfully in the freezing trays of an automatic refrigerator. These
Jell-O dishes should be thoroughly chilled—but never frozen. Proper
chilling takes but 13^ to 2 hours.
For whips: Chill dissolved Jell-O until cold and syrupy. Place in a bowl of
cracked ice or ice water and whip with rotary egg beater until fluffy and
thick like whipped cream.
For creams: Jell-O creams have a smooth velvety texture and are made
with much less cream than is usually required in this type of dessert.
Most of the creams in this book are made as follows:
Chill dissolved Jell-O until cold and syrupy; whip cream until
thick and shiny but not stiff and dull. Combine. The finished
product has a beautiful luster and fine, smooth, creamy texture.
If larger volume is desired and if a more porous, spongy texture is better
suited to the dish, the Jell-O and cream should be whipped separately
and then combined. In this case, chill dissolved Jell-O until cold and
syrupy, place in a bowl of cracked ice or ice water, and whip with rotary
egg beater until fluffy and thick like whipped cream. T h e n fold in whipped
cream.
For layered and decorated molds: Chill each layer of Jell-O until firm be-
fore adding another layer. Arrange design on layer of clear Jell-O. Cover
with enough cold liquid Jell-O to anchor design. Chill until design is set.
Add remaining Jell-O, pouring carefully against spoon to avoid disar-
ranging design.
For unmolding: When molded Jell-O is thoroughly chilled and firm, dip
mold up to the edge in warm—not hot—water. Hold a moment, remove,
and dry outside of mold. Place plate over mold and turn them over to-
gether. Raise side of mold slightly and give a sharp shake. Lift off mold.
NOTE: Raw pineapple cannot be used successfully with Jell-O. Use cooked or canned pineapple.
