Almond Jello

Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
  • 2 packets Knox gelatin
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1 c. cold milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 can 8oz fruit cocktail

Directions:
  1. Bring 1.25 cup water to a boil, when it is ready pour into a mixing bowl and sprinkle gelatin over it.
  2. Let sit for a minute, then stir the mixture until all the gelatin is dissolved. Hint: set the bowl over low heat to keep it hot enough to melt all the gelatin.
  3. Add sugar and almond extract. Stir until dissolved.
  4. Add cold milk
  5. Pour liquid mixture into a casserole or baking pan. Bonus points if it is Pyrex or Corningware, and even better if it’s something you can serve the dessert in!
  6. Refrigerate until firm.
  7. Cut the gelatin into 1″ cubes and then carefully mix with fruit cocktail and syrup, thinned with cold water to taste.
