When I was a little girl, one of my favorite recipes that my mom would make was Applesauce Jell-O.
It was just the thing that made me feel better when I was sick, cheered me up when I was sad, and tasted really great alongside those chicken patties we ate so many of. 🙂
Now I make it for our Happy Home and I can’t even tell you how much the Happy Hubby loves it.
Applesauce Jell-O couldn’t be easier to make, but the 4 hour chill time might drive you crazy as you wait for its deliciousness!
Ingredients:
- Large (6 oz) box of Strawberry Jell-O
- 1 large (24 oz) jar of applesauce
Step 1 – Pour the Jell-O powder into a large bowl.
Step 2 – Pour 2 cups boiling hot water into the bowl.
Step 3 – Stir for 2 minutes, or until Jell-O is completely dissolved.
Step 4 – Pour the jar of applesauce into the bowl.
Step 5 – Stir and then put the bowl into the refrigerator. Chill for 4 hours or until Jell-O is firm.
Step 6 – Scoop the Jell-O into a bowl and serve on Valentine’s Day as special part of your Valentine’s Day dinner!
Happy Valentine’s Day Applesauce Jell-O-ing! 🙂
What size package of jello other than large! Could you specfiy in grams?
Jello is 6 oz. Applesauce is 24 oz. Enjoy!
I do something similar except I melt about 1/4 cup of red hots in the water as it comes to a boil then add the jello, stir to melt and the applesauce. Give it a little more red color and a bit of zing in the taste.
This looks delicious! I’m going to try it soon!
Also, for an upcoming Daddy-Daughter Valentine’s dinner and dance at my church for girls ages 8-12, I am using your paper plate game! Although, I tweaked it for Valentine’s! I think it’s going to be a hit Thanks for the awesome ideas, keep ’em coming!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe — it brought back some yummy memories!!! (My mom made this for us when I was growing up, too!) I’ll definitely be making it for my family next week! Happy Valentine’s Day!!! 🙂
