FeedMy Grandmother's Cinnamon Applesauce Jello

My Grandmother makes Jello. Shocker, right!?! Hahah!

But really. It's so good. I know this for certain because I hate Jello. and I love this recipe. Didn't I just say that about bananas? Well maybe that is why these recipes speak to me. Begging to be made. I don't like an ingredient in the recipe, but I LOVE the recipe. seems like a metaphor for life.

This Jello has a softer, less clean texture that is really nice on the palate. My Children LOVE this recipe, and I bet the children in your life will as well!

Here is your cast of characters:


Ingredients are:
~1/3 cup Red Hots Candy, or any hard cinnamon candy.
~ 1 1/2 cups Applesauce.
~ Large (6 ounce) box Cherry Jello
~ 12 ounces of lemon-lime pop of your choice.

Directions:

Dissolve Red Hots in enough boiling water to cover them (I do this in a glass bowl in the microwave).

When the candy is dissolved, the cinnamon water can be set aside.

Next in a medium sized pot on your stove top, heat 1 1/2 cups applesauce to boiling.
Mix the Jello packet into the boiling applesauce until it is smooth.
Remove from heat.
Pretty! Pardon the dirty stove. =(

Add 1/4 cup of the Cinnamon water.
Also add the 12 ounces of Lemon Lime Pop/Soda.


 Stir it up!

Pour it into a lightly oiled, fun Jello mold or into a (not oiled) pretty bowl.


Chill until set, and serve!


That green schmear is avocado! sorry!



Cinnamon Applesauce Jello makes a great side dish. My Grandmother always brought it to Holiday Meals. She doubled the recipe.
