Red Quick Jel

Jo4

I was sorting out my kitchen cupboard and I discovered I have 2 twin packs of Green's red quick jel is there anything I could use it fo apart from a fruit flan? Please say there is.

BTW it is in date for a few more months.

Trifle?

Make them up with sweetened milk instead of water and add some yogurt for a blamange type dessert.

Make it up and add some fresh or tinned fruit and a dollop of cream

Sorry for the silly question but can you purchase sweetened milk and if so what form does it come in, if not how do you make it?

Isn't this jello the basis of Tightwad's jigglers? I've looked in my copy of Tightwad Gazette but can't find the recipe so I've taken it from my next most favourite frugal blog. Tightwad adds little treats into her jigglers if I remember rightly like hundreds and thousands and fruit.

Jigglers

2 pkgs of instant jello (regular sugar kind-4 servings each)
1 1/2 cups of boiling water or juice

Combine the boiling water and jello and stir for 3 minutes. Then pour into an 8X8 pan and let set in the fridge for several hours until solid. To release from pan, dip the entire pan into hot water for a few minutes (obviously this means to just get the outside hot, not to get the water on the inside) then slide the sheet of jigglers out. They always say that you can cut it into shapes with cookie cutters, but I have always just made plain old cubes.

Sorry, didn't make myself clear. I meant ordinary milk with some sugar in.

Thanks for responding again. Sorry for bothering you, you can tell I am not very adventurous in the kitchen!
