Hello Darlings! In this weeks video I go out of my comfort zone and make something that should probably never exist... savoury Jell-O salad!! Although I was actually pleasantly surprised as it turned out much better than expected! I hope you enjoy the video and I'll see you next week!
Lots of love,
Sage Xx
Here is the recipe from my 1950's Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book:
Spring Salad Souffle
Different and delightful! Serve at your next ladies' luncheon for compliments aplenty-
1 3-ounce package lime-flavoured gelatin
1/2 cup water
1 can condensed cream of asparagus soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon grated onion
Dash pepper
...
1/2 cup shredded unpared cucumber
1/4 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon snipped parsley
In saucepan, mix gelatin and water. Gradually blend in soup; heat and stir till gelatin dissolves. Add next 4 ingredients. Beat smooth with rotary or electric beater. Chill till partially set. Turn into large chilled bowl; beat till thick and fluffy. Fold in vegetables. Spoon into 5-cup ring mold or 6 to 8 individual molds; chill firm.

I have a question for you, how sweet do you remember a good Jell-o salad being? When I read those vintage salad recipes, I wonder whether the "lime Jell-o" they called for was less sweet than the modern lime Jell-o you'd find in grocery stores. In this video, she used unflavored gelatin with lime juice, which would indeed be less sweet, and mentioned that she had the same theory about the sweetness of the gelatin being different. What do you think..? Cheers!

These jello salads are quite something! I grew up eating different types made by my mother, aunts, grandmothers. With Thanksgiving dinner my aunts always made a lime green one with carrots, pineapple, and walnuts. My mother-in-law loved her jello salads more than anyone. Her specialties were a green, red and white ribbon one for Christmas, a rainbow-layered one. I've also had many raspberry, creamcheese pretzel ones, and red strawberry ones with fruit compote inside. 🤣 Personally I do not make them.

Jello salads feed a lot of people cheaply and were seen as an economical way to feed a large group or large family. I guess I feed my kids fruit smoothies and chopped fresh fruit and veggies instead 🤷‍♀️ I do have fond memories of the jello because of who made them and the occasions where it was served.

I remember my family serving Jello side dishes "back in the day", but when I went through my Mom's recipe box the only savory one found was for tomato aspic. If she didn't have plain Jello, then lemon would work, since the recipe called for lemon juice. She always had trouble "de-molding" back then, and that was a pretty often occurrence, so don't feel so bad about your "plating" challenge. A Norwegian friend still likes gelled dishes, and they were common where he grew up. Really enjoyed your video!

I live in the USA and I'm 72 , so I've eaten A LOT of jello salads. They usually on the sweet side - cranberry sauce in strawberry jello, with an apple cut up into small bits , celery,chopped pecans and pineapple , also cut up small. It was very very good. Another was lemon jello with fruit all cut up in it - sort of a fruit salad in jello.It was both pretty and delicious.At our house they were made in various molds my Mom owned and placed on a bed of lettuce on the plate, a sauce made with mayo was served with it , or if it was being served as dessert , whipped cream was served with it. My mother also occasionally made a lemon jello with salad vegetables served in it - sliced radishes, peppers, cucumbers,grated carrots celery ( they all seemed to have celery.). It seemed they were made in the summer and we'd have cold meat with them like chicken or ham.

@lisaseidenkranz3211 2 жыл бұрын

Using unflavored gelatin, may a drop of green food color. I've only done this ince for a swedish smorgasbord. They have a lot of them. Mine was with lemon jello and lots of sliced veggies, cucumber, radishes, celery, olives, may be even hard boiled egg. It was beautiful. It was served with a bowl of mayonnaise in center. So more like salad. Great job!

One thing that might make it easier to make is to make the jello separately. While the jello is heating up - put the other ingredients in a separate bowl. When all of the ingredients are in the 2nd bowl - put them into the pan with the jello. More flavor from the gelatin and flavorings.

You can put hot pans in a fridge, it won’t harm them. I’d place it on a pot holder on the shelf in your fridge. It’s hot glass that could crack if you go from heat to cold. That is a silicone Bundt pan. Traditionally, Bundt pans are metal. Jello salads were often used as a side dish, or for a ladies luncheon with shrimp or chicken, cherry tomatoes, etc. Unfortunately, I think it came out a little mushy because, believe it or not, there was too much liquid (extra water & lime juice; best to use lime jello), plus, you used a mixer when the veggies should have been slowly folded in by hand. But honestly, good for you for even attempting this!! It doesn’t look so bad at all. I remember older relatives making this, but it definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. So happy that you enjoyed it! A+ for effort & execution!

@@vintagelife5195 Oh yes. It was taken very seriously. I have my mothers copy of the Joys of Jello cookbook. Very common to have a jello salad served with supper and each family seemed to have a few favorites that came out at family gatherings. I have made one called Ribbon Salad every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas since I took over the job from my mom - and I’m 59. Another wonderful recipe from that cookbook is called Bavarian and is a delicious mixture of red jello and whipping cream. Some of the savories are a bit too much and I’ve never liked the orange jello mixed with pineapple tidbits and grated carrot 😛. My aunties and grandmothers were proud of the jello molds they collected as well, and it was a lovely skill to be able to successfully unmold a jello creation. They would share tips on the best warm water dip techniques to loosen, but not melt, the jello.

I've got the recipe book that you used. We used it all the time growing up. Just love watching you in the 50s videos that you do. Thank you for sharing and letting us into your world. 😉🙂🐔🐣🐔

My mother made plain lime Jello with shredded carrots and sliced celery in it. She served it chilled with a dollop of Miracle Whip salad dressing on top. It was a refreshing sweet and sour side dish for our summer lunches. I loved it! Recently, I purchased the ingredients to make it for my own kids, and they looked at me like I was crazy. LOL

You need a nice cottage cheese,mayo and, dill blended dressing to serve with molded salad on a bed of shredded lettuce. Really makes it nice You might enjoy a v-8 (using plain Knox gelatin) based molded salad as well. Cucumber and hard boiled egg garnish.

It seems so weird for me to eat this🙈, but you made me see something I've never thought about which is, as clothes, makeup, perfume and everything changes with time, food also does .. So yeah thank you for that, and who know? I might try this one day too

the 50s was unique in that package food was all new, and serving it up showed you were really modern!! You definately didn't want to look like you were 1 generation away from the farm (which you probably were)!! plus there was so much more free time, money and optimism, people were getting creative with food and wanting to have dinner parties, things like that... this one doesn't look as bad as some of the american ones, which are still served in the midwest, salads made with sweet jelly. i would try this, i think you could tweak the one in the video to make it better. i've seen some with beetroot juice that look ok.

Jello was a thing when I was a kid in the 1960’s, but Momma put fruit in it, I don’t remember her doing the savory thing. They come out of the pan better if you use one of those shaped copper jello molds, and when you take it out of the fridge, have a bowl of hot water ready, dip your jello mold in there for a few seconds and then do like you did with the plate and flip it over and it will come right out. Side dish, pretty good with a dab of whipped cream on top.

Hello Sage, I adore Maude and Mabel and its obvious they feel the same about you! I still make a jellied salad at Christmas to serve with all my other salads. Mine is more a jellied coleslaw made with lime jelly, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, chopped pineapple and finely sliced cabbage. I also include finely chopped red capsicum but no soup mix, and some salt and pepper. Is so refreshing and very pretty once set because the jelly is transparent. Being vegan I use a vegan gelatine with lime syrup added. So delicious! Warm wishes 🐾🥰

I used to make a lemon, carrot pineapple jell-o salad using lemon jell-o, a small can of pineapple and 1 - 2 carrots shredded. It was in Peanut's Cook Book from 1975. It was geared to teach kids how to make "fancy" dishes. I can remember mom would let me make it (I was 15) when we were having any kind of party. I even a few times used orange or lime flavor jell-o and would put in mini marshmallows, oranges, pineapple and whipped cream with chopped pistachio's. It would make it like an ambrosia. One time I even used cherry juice instead of water in lime jell-o and put in a jar of cherries and froze it for a 7-up punch.

When I saw you were going to beat the mix in that glass bowl I immediately thought “this isn’t going to end well, you need a much bigger bowl”. 🤣

@cindersmolloy6584 5 ай бұрын

Sp glad tp find this. These salads were the descendants of the Victorian and earlier salads set in aspic. We never called them Jello and sweet recipes were an american thing not done in my memory in Australia. In the 70's we got sophisticated and used to make these with snoked salmon as the flavouring. A pity they are out of fashion as they are delicious! People don't have the time. Throwing things on a platter is faster and the factory has done the cooking for you.

So, my mum was a teenager in the 1950s and when I was growing up she was really into making gelatin salads, which she had learned to make back then. She made all sorts of them. And sorry to say that they indeed used the sweet lime gelatin in their savory creations, not plain or savory lime gelatin. She actually made one very similar to this! But she used sweet lime jell-o. Only her and my brother would actually eat them, though! The rest of us hated them.

The end product looked like really good, like a nice plate of mashed potatoes! It would be fun to see you and your beloved try out your dishes together at the end of the video. I am also glad to see, out of respect for Maude and Mabel, I haven't seen you make any dishes made out of poultry! :-)
