Ingredients

  • 1 6-ounce package each black cherry-, berry blue-, lime-, mango- (or orange-), and strawberry-flavor gelatin

  • Boiling water

  • 3 ⅓ cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl or 4-cup glass measuring cup combine black cherry gelatin and 2 cups boiling water, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Pour 1-3/4 cups of the gelatin mixture into a 3-quart rectangular baking dish, spreading in a thin layer to cover bottom of dish. Chill for 30 to 45 minutes or until firm.

  2. Stir 2/3 cup of the sour cream into the remaining gelatin mixture. Gently spread sour cream-gelatin mixture over gelatin layer in dish. Chill about 30 minutes or until firm but still tacky.

  3. Meanwhile, combine berry blue gelatin and 2 cups boiling water; cool to room temperature. Spread 1-3/4 cups of the mixture over layers in dish; chill until firm. Stir 2/3 cup sour cream into the remaining gelatin mixture; spread over layers in dish and chill until firm but still tacky. Repeat with the remaining flavors of gelatin and the remaining sour cream. Cover and chill overnight.

  4. To serve, cut gelatin into 1-1/2-inch cubes.

Tips

For a rainbow effect, layer the flavors of gelatin in the order listed. For Christmas, try alternating layers of cherry- and lime-flavor gelatin.
