Seven-Layer Gelatin Salad

"The first time I made this my kids were in awe. They loved the colors. I took it to a church potluck and it was gone really quick. The recipe takes time as the jello layers need to set - however the presentation is very nice. I think this is a TOH recipe."

  1. My family has been making this for years & it's always at hit! It does take awhile to make it, but it's definitely worth it. It's good with any flavor combinations.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&lt;img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg&gt; October 2010&nbsp;</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pichy1L7z-1.jpg alt= /> September 2010</p> <p>&nbsp;<img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic53mWVE-1.jpg alt= />&nbsp; August 2010</p> <p><br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pictSF7ey-1.jpg alt= />&nbsp; July 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> June 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/piczwaa5A-1.jpg alt= /> May 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picW4Zmut-1.jpg alt= /></p> <p>April 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picO0GVGF-2.jpg alt= />&nbsp;March 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picOOqjRy-1.jpg alt= /> Feb 2010 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> Jan 2010 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picCdyPjI-1.jpg alt= /> Dec 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree-1-1.jpg alt= /> November 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/MullaMulla-1-1.jpg alt= /> October 2009<img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Dryandra-1-1.jpg alt= /> September 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= /> June 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= /> May 2009 <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg alt= /> April 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= />March 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pickxwB1q-1.jpg alt= /> February 2009 <br /><img src=http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr336/jess4freedom/Zaar%20banners/emergency_amtag.jpg alt= />January 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pukekoinapongatree-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/FringeLily-1-1.jpg alt= /> November 2008 <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/?action=view?t=CookingSchoolHost1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/CookingSchoolHost1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Darwinia.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/numbat-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DesertRose.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/fringelilygrp10.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /></a><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/CV.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view?t=curriedcurrajongs.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/curriedcurrajongs.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
