Title: JELLO SNACKS FOR KIDS
Categories: Desserts, Snacks, Kids
Yield: 6 servings
1 (12 oz) can frozen grape
-juice concentrate, thawed
3 Envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 c (1 can) water
From: Vicki Lansky's CANDY book
GRAPE FINGER JELLO
Soften gelatin in grape juice. Boil the water, add the
juice/ gelatin mixture and stir til gelatin dissolves.
Remove from heat, pour into a lightly greased 9x13 pan
and chill. Cut into squares when firm. Refrigerate in
a covered container. This is good lunch box and
traveling fare. It can go unrefrigerated up to 4 hours
under normal (not desert!) conditions.
Variation: substitute frozen cranberry juice cocktail
concentrate for grape juice. Or a 12 oz can frozen
apple, pear, apple, juice concentrate.
SLIPPERY CIRCLES
Let any of the recipes for finger jello stand and
chill til thickened which doesn't take very long (15
to 25 minutes). Place a spoonful of the gelatin into
each of 4 empty and clean 6 oz cans, such as usually
used for frozen orange juice. Cut a peeled banana in
half and center it in the can. Spoon in remaining
gelatin. Chill till firm. To unmold, dip to rim in
warm water and let it slide out. Or remove bottom of
can if more appropriate. Cut into slices.
SUNSHINE SQUARES
(A Finger Jello that is good even for breakfast).
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin 3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 cup boiling water 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup orange juice
Soften gelatin in pineapple juice. Add to boiling
water and stir til dissolved. Add sweetener and orange
juice. Chill in a 9x9 inch pan, then cut into squares.
Refrigerate in a covered container. Variation: If you
wish to use honey instead of sugar, decrease the
orange juice by 1/8 of a cup.
APPLE RING SNACKS
Why pay for Weight Watchers Apple Snack when you can
make your own?
Peel an apple and remove the core. Slice in rings.
Place on alightly greased cookie sheet, or on clear
plastic wrap laid out on a cookie sheet. Dry in an
electric oven at low or warm temperatures, In a gas
oven the pilot light is sufficient. Drying takes 6-9
hours, making this a good overnight project. The size
of the apple slices and your oven temperature are the
variables you will have to experiment with. The apples
need not be dried to a crisp. Store in an airtight
container. These should last several weeks at room
temperature. Good for traveling!
