Rainbow Cherry Jigglers Recipes

Steps:

• Spray 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Whisk 1 pkg. gelatin mix, 1/4 cup boiling water and 1 container yogurt in medium microwaveable bowl until blended. Microwave on HIGH 2 min., stirring after each minute. Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate 40 to 45 min. or until set but not firm.
• Repeat in same pan with each remaining gelatin flavor to make a total of 4 layers, refrigerating as directed after each layer.
• Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Unmold onto cutting board. Cut gelatin into 12 slices. Use 2-inch cookie cutters to cut gelatin into desired shapes. Reserve scraps for snacking.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare half-sphere flexible silicon molds, can use square too, by lightly spraying with unflavored pam, or by wiping the cavities with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil. Wipe the cavities with a clean paper towel. This will leave a thin layer of Pam/oil and will help un-mold the gelatin without affecting the taste. Place each mold on a cookie sheet or cooling rack to provide a stable surface for handling. Prepare 30 maraschino cherries, with stems, by cutting a thin slice off the bottom so they will stand up on the gelatin without falling over. Place cut cherries on paper towel to drain.
• 2. OPAQUE LAYER Place juice in a saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat. Fill each mold cavity 1/3 full with gelatin mixture. Place molds in refrigerator until gelatin sets, 30 to 45 minutes. Prepare clear layer.
• 3. CLEAR LAYER Place juice in saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to slightly cool (about 15 minutes). When mixture has cooled, remove molds from refrigerator. Place a cherry, cut side down, in each cavity. Fill the cavities to the top with reserved clear gelatin mixture. Return molds to refrigerator, and chill for several hours (ideally overnight to avoid separation in the layers when unmolded).
• 4. To serve, carefully pop the gelatin out of the molds and place on serving plate. Immediately before serving, dust with multicolor cake sprinkles or whatever you choose. Makes 30 Cherry Jigglers
