Layer Jello With Fruit Recipes

Jello is made from gelatin, a binding agent. It also serves as an adhesive, thickener, and whipping agent. Corn syrup, water, and sugar are mixed with flavor, texture modifiers, and color to make gelatin confections such as marshmallows. One of the favorite ingredients in confectionery, gelatin can foam, gel, and solidify, forming a flavorful shape that can later dissolve in the mouth.

Because jello can have so many different flavors and colors, yet still remain light and non-filling, it is popular for use in many different foods. The creation of ready-to-make sugar-free gelatin mix has added customers who previously could not consume the sugar in standard packages of jello. Jello and fruit mixtures are very popular.

A creamy, rich topping makes it a hit with everyone. This just might be added to the "Please Make" list for potlucks and parties, it is so good.

It should keep for at least two days if it is not all eaten at once.

One ingredient in this recipe that might seem odd is white vinegar. A semi-tart taste is created when the vinegar's acidity combines with the sweet taste of the jello and fruit. The flavor will balance just right. Although the vinegar can be left out, take a chance and see the wonderful difference that bit of vinegar makes in not only this recipe, but other layer jello recipes, as well.
