Here's the recipe for the Red-and-White Fruit Mold:
1 1-pound can (2 cups) fruit cocktail
1 package raspberry or strawberry flavored gelatin
1 package lemon flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 6oz can frozen lemonade concentrate
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
Drain fruit cocktail, reserving syrup. Add water to syrup to make 2 cups. Heat 1 cup of mixture to boiling; add raspberry gelatin and stir to dissolve. Then add remaining syrup mixture.
Pour gelatin mixture into a 6 1/2 or 7 cup mold, or pour equal amounts into individual molds. Chill till firm.
Meanwhile dissolve lemon gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; add lemonade concentrate. Blend in mayonnaise. Chill till partially set; then stir in fruit cocktail. Pour over first layer and chill till firm.
Unmold individual salads on rings of pineapple, and trim each with a ruffle of leaf lettuce. For elegance, serve salads on platter centered with luscious, fruit-filled Honeydew Bowl.

You have a tan ! Looking lovely ! I love that series of cook books. Being born in the late 50s, I grew up on jello with mayo and love it! We would have the more citrus flavors of jello that had shredded veggies in it like carrots and celery with a dollop of mayo on top, its really delicious. The thicker (in height) the jello is the longer it will take to gel.

Ah, memories. This recipe & several others were mainstays for my one Grandma. She also made several different vegetable salad Jello molds & aspics. My other Grandma was not as adventurous. She invariably made Jello w/fruit ring mold. When she served it there was always a small cobalt blue bowl w/mayo in the center.

You did a great job on what I consider a harder recipe, lots of steps and waiting for it to set up. The melon looked difficult for me, too, but you managed it quite well. I just tried watermelon stars one Memorial day and ended up in E/R with stitches in my pointer finger. You did great on both and it really looked like the picture in the book. You looked adorable fixing it in your retro kitchen. I love just watching you try these recipes and being surprised when it tastes good. Such fun.

@lucretiamacevil362 3 жыл бұрын

The recipe looks really cute! And pretty simple to make with stuff you'd already have. Though I would replace the mayo with a vanilla pudding packet. One thing I learned, the hard way, was always look up what the volume is when a vintage recipe says "can of" or something close. Sizes change... Nothing like a ruined dessert to teach you that.

@scooterdover2771 3 жыл бұрын

The mayo does seem weird, but with all the sugar from the Jello and the lemon aide; I think adding whipped cream or pudding would make it way to sugary.

@shonitagarcia3222 3 жыл бұрын

Culinary secret tip: when creating fruit bowls... they usually won't share this tip. It goes for deviled eggs as well if you don't have the egg platter... with your knife cut a piece off the bottoms to create a flat surface, it's just a sliver of your melon bowl or egg that is too round to just make it flat so it won't slide or roll over. You can even do it for stuffed peppers or stuffed tomatoes as well. Very handy to do. Beautiful job. Yeah, whenever you mix fruit into jello, be prepared for an overnighter. My all time favorite is the retro green jello salad with the cottage cheese mixed until it. It's the only way I'll eat cottage cheese lol. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

In any sweet recipe that calls for mayo (which is invariably 50's/60's recipe's) you can substitute sweetened condensed milk for the creaminess; that's also why your jello didn't set right. Freeze the jello instead if you add something that isn't water/jello so it'll set quicker. And don't worry about any ice crystals; they can thaw in the fridge once it's all set. Lovely, as always, Mrs. Fay.

My Mom used to make all kinds of recipes with Jello in the 60s, 70s and probably into the early 80s. I don't remember if there was mayo in it or not but I do remember the Cool Whip.. Laci, I love watching your videos and I think I figured out why. You remind me of my Mom! She passed away in 1984 so I haven't heard her voice in a very long time and that could be why it's taken me this long. The only difference is that my Mom talked a lot faster (we're from New York). She dressed the way you do until the 70s. I've seen lots of pics from her single days in the 50s of her wearing 'party' dresses. And, your aprons! My Mom had tons of them! I had a box of some of them but I don't remember what happened to it. I moved around a lot in my 20s and I probably lost a box in every move. Thank you so much for your bright, fun videos! And, for bringing warm, sweet memories of my Mom!

I have several of the same small mold and was thinking I could do this, but too bad I don't have a little variety in my mold collection, lol. I think the different molds you have gave the dish charm and interest. I'm not sure how well it would travel, especially in warm months, but this would be great if you had some ladies over to your home to play bridge or something!

Love it!!!!!!!! Even my Grumpy bear agrees. I see a lot of people swap out the mayo for cool whip, and I wonder. Am I the only one doing the same with sweeten condensed canned milk? Nothing against cool whip, I like that too, but for many of the jello recipes I have from my mom, and books, condensed milk adds a richer taste, and texture comes out closer to the mayo based ones. Laci, if you read this, please (please please please purttty purtty please with a cherry on top!) Consider dping candlestick salad! (I really recommend though subbing out the mayo on this one.) Not only is this a great holiday jello dish, it's hilarious too. No serious way to take it serious and, well. The picture of candlestick salad tells all. Lol. ~Lots of Love from my 80's care bear heart to you and Mr.Johnny.

Its funny how gelatin dishes were such a fashionable addition to the dinner table from the 19th century to the the 20th, but have now almost completely disappeared (except for Jello-tm). Butt, in many parts of Asia, agar based dishes are still thriving and very common, including multi color/layer creations.
