Serves/Makes:12 or more

Ingredients
  • 7 3 oz (84 grm). packages of Jell-O (1 of each of the following flavors: black cherry, cherry, lime, lemon, orange, pineapple and strawberry)
  • 1 12 oz (336 grm). can of Pet Evaporated Milk
  • water
  • sweetened sour cream or sweetened whipped cream, optional garnish
Preparation
  • Make the black cherry jello, using 3/4 cup (175 ml) hot water and 3/4 cup (175 ml) cold water. Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan and let it set for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Make the cherry jello, this time use 1/2 cup (125 ml) hot water, 1/2 cup (125 ml) cold water and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the Pet milk. Pour this over the black cherry layer and let set for 2 hours in the refrigerator, or until set.
  • Then make the lime jello using 3/4 cup (175 ml) hot water and 3/4 cup (175 ml) cold water. Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan and let it set for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Then make the lemon jello as you did the cherry flavor; use 1/2 cup (125 ml) hot water, 1/2 cup (125 ml) cold water and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the Pet milk. Pour this over the black cherry layer and let set for 2 hours in the refrigerator, or until set.
  • Make the Orange jello same as the cherry and lime flavors; using 3/4 cup (175 ml) hot water and 3/4 cup (175 ml) cold water. Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan and let it set for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Do the Pineapple jello like the lemon and cherry flavors with the Pet Milk.
  • Finish with the Strawberry flavor and make it without the Pet milk.
  • Let this set-up well, and cut into squares to serve.
  • It is really pretty with a dollop of sweetened sour cream or sweetened whipped sweet cream.
