My mother did this to make "Knox Blox" (basically, JELL-O made according to the package directions + 1 pouch of Knox gelatin. Cut into blocks after setting). It makes the JELL-O extra solid, easier for cutting. Also, I think that pineapple is the one fruit you should never add to JELL-O. Something in the pineapple prevents the JELL-O from setting.Laurahttps://twitter.com/readknitrunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-16273773489342903842012-08-06T21:49:00.778-07:002012-08-06T21:49:00.778-07:00Love the pooch!Love the pooch!dunnadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261065134094212504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-45317664906419070462012-08-06T19:12:49.031-07:002012-08-06T19:12:49.031-07:00Fifilaru, you raise a valid point.

I just grabbed three packages of JELL-O. I don't know if they even make different sizes. Not sure if that would've helped or not. Or if less water would've made the base firmer.Brian Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779793839672812019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-78808658237996438412012-08-06T15:11:29.176-07:002012-08-06T15:11:29.176-07:00Too much water for small packets of Jello.

When I was getting rid of the remnants today, I remembered that I'd purchased pineapple chunks by mistake instead of crushed pineapple. I mashed them up to what I thought would be crushed consistency, but now I'm wondering: would crushed pineapple have provided a more solid foundation for the other layers to rest on, thereby averting the gelatinous catastrophe I faced? Have I done the women of Mount Royal United Church a grave disservice? I won't sleep tonight. I just know it.Brian Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779793839672812019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-30667209121559890942012-08-06T07:47:02.703-07:002012-08-06T07:47:02.703-07:00Take comfort in the fact that it's not your fa...Take comfort in the fact that it's not your fault.<br /><br />One always has to be careful when cooking from one of those community-style cookbooks. While the contributors tend to be talented--not to mention creative--cooks, they are also somewhat absent-minded or careless. Hence, crucial instructions or measurements are often omitted.<br /><br />Time to get right back on that Caker horse and cook up something with crescent rolls and cheese puffs.<br /><br />Also, doggie!veg-o-maticnoreply@blogger.com
