This year for the 4th of July, I’m in charge of bringing a salad to the family party. I’ve made this fun flag-shaped 4th of July Jell-O before, and it’s always a hit. As I live in the Jell-O Capital of the World, this side dish is perfect for the family party!
Supplies for Jell-O Flag:
- Jell-O – Blue or Red Jell-O color works best for the background.
- Whip cream – I like to use the cream from a spray can as it forms a better line for the flag. It also makes it look kinda wavy.
- Red fruit – strawberries or raspberries are delish.
- Blueberries – for the corner as stars.
As I was making the Jello, my kids wanted a taste of all the toppings as a snack. So I made them some Red, White, and Blue Fruit Bowls. They were a great treat and all too easy.
i was thinking bout maken a jello flag with strawberry jello make a pan cut into strips lay it on cookie sheet and put cheesecake pudding for the white stripes ten make blue berry jello n ice cube trays till set up then put then in corner n put spray whip topping in blue ice cubes for stars does this sound good to anyone need some opinions
You might live in the jello capital, but I live a mere 1/2 hour drive from where jello was invented! All your holiday foods look quite yummy!
That is beautiful! What a great idea! I’m definitly going to try that this weekend! Thanks
There has to be one of the flag dishes at every picnic! It is an American tradition!
Yummy! You are making me way hungry! What fabulous ideas! I will have to us one on Friday!
Yum! Is that one of your name etched Pyrexes? Those are so cool! Didn’t you used to make those to sell? I was thinking that I need one!
I used to make this on pound cake every 4th – I like the jello idea even better!
I’m in love with the fruit bowl! (not that the jello dish isn’t great, it is) For a dish of leftover toppings the bowl rocks! I think I need to serve it this weekend.
