11-9-12 Jello Pinwheels

I was a few seconds too slow to get the picture of them washing each other at the same time. Boss is licking Goldilocks.

A few random px -

[Dad is not reading a newspaper. He is studying the installation instructions for the shower door. Which is now in and looks great! (Thanks Jesse)]

Big excitement – watching the tortilla toasties brown.

Last weekend Jennifer brought jello pinwheels to share with us – a delightful twist to plain finger jello. So pretty, so delicious, and so easy!! I have yet to make them, but Kate already has it down to perfection. Thanks, Kate!

Jello Pinwheels

from Recipes to Remember (Renee’s Recipe Collection Volume II, p. 25)

1 (4 serving size) pkg. gelatin (any flavor)

1/2 cup warm water

1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Lightly grease 8 or 9 inch square pan. Mix gelatin and water in microwave-able bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir to dissolve completely.  Add marshmallows to gelatin. Microwave 1 minute or until marshmallows are almost melted.  Stir until completely melted and mixture is smooth. (Creamy layer will float to the top.) Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until set. Loosen edges using knife dipped in warm water. Starting at one end, roll up tightly.  With seam-side down, cut into 10 to 12 (1/2 inch) slices. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Kate cut ours a little thicker than Renee suggested; a double batch filled a 9x13 pan and made about 15 pinwheels.

Delicious!
