I have had so many requests for this recipe after I posted my fourth of july photos...I have made this stuff for years. I used to make it with more layers...I think 9 layers. It's fun to do rainbow colors with the white...kids love it!
-4 pkg. (3 oz) Jello (you can choose your colors and flavors, but you'll want to do at least two different colors)
-4 pkg. Knox unflavored gelatin (there are usually three pkg. in one box, so you'll need to buy two boxes)
-1 can sweetened condensed milk
Step 1: Clear a spot in your freezer to help the jello set faster. Make sure it is level.
Step 2: Combine 1 pkg. flavored gelatin with 1/2 pkg. of unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup boiling water. Stir well untill dissolved. Cool to room temperature and pour into a 9x13 glass pan. Place in freezer for about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Combine one can sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until mixed. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 pkg. knox gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand a few minutes, and then add 1/2 cup boiling water to dissolve gelatin. Add to milk mixture and stir well to combine. Cool to room temperature and gently pour one cup over your first layer of gelatin. Return to freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Repeat step 2 using a different color of jello.
Step 5: Repeat step 3.
Step 6: Repeat step 2.
Step 7: Refrigerate...slice or cut with cookie cutters just before serving.
Looks wonderful. I'm going to try this for Easter and pour it into a giant egg mold. Do you think it'll work out okay?

I remember these "ribbon salads" from when I was a kid 40 years ago. Nice to see them making a comeback, they are delightful to eat.
