I think I'll make it a yearly tradition.Here is the recipe:
RAINBOW FINGER JELLO
COLORED LAYERS:
4 (3 ox) boxes of JELLO (any color/flavor)
4 c. boiling water
4 envelopes (total) of Knox Gelatin (divided)
WHITE LAYERS:
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. cold water
4 env. Knox Gelatin
Prepare 9x13 oblong pan or jello mold by lightly spraying with Pam; wipe with paper towel to create super-thin, smooth layer of oil.
Make sure your pan is very flat.
Mix 1 pkg. Jello with 1 envelope Knox Gelatin & 1 c. boiling water. Mix till dissolved. Pour into pan, pop any bubbles that form carefully, & refrigerate on FLAT surface. (I used a folded paper towel to level it, since my 'fridge was slightly off-level) Do not cover. Let set for 15 min. Meanwhile, mix MILK layer:
Put 4 env. Knox gel. in a bowl. Pour 1/2 c. cold water over powder & stir slightly to dampen; let set. Pour 1 1/2 c. boiling water over mixture and whisk. Add 1 can sweetened condensed milk and stir to mix well. Pour 1 c. of milk mixture over the set jello. Refrigerate 10-15 min.
Repeat layers as many times as you need. (Milk recipe above will accommodate 4 layers of Jello; double if you're using more. Any leftovers? Add some milk & vanilla to it and refrigerate; top with fruit - it tastes like Panna Cotta - Italian Cream dessert!)
Note: If the milk mixture thickens up while waiting for jello layers to set, just pop it in the microwave for a bit until it "melts" again - whisk to smooth it out again.
Note: There IS Blue jello out there - and purple too - next time I might mix Grape with Blackberry to see if it makes a darker purple.

All I can say is wow! I've tried to do layers with just Jell-o, but obviously this works out much better to keep the layers separate. It looks incredible!
WOW Jan...im impressed...looks yummy
You little domestic diva you.
im just wondering seriously how do you do it? 3 kiddos and rainbow jello. i am impressed.
Hmm...we'll have to try this. My mom always uses plain yogurt in her white layer, and in colored ones too, to get a cloudy color instead of a clear one for variety.She did a value colors jello for girls camp!
This is more a comment on the last post. Those are some beautiful photos, but that's not surprising since the subject matter is beautiful.
it looks too pretty to eat. okay, maybe i would scarf it down anyway, but the presentation is perfect.
