Stained Glass Jello

Every Christmas Eve we seem to have a different Jello dish and this year was Stained Glass Jello. It looked so pretty on the plate! You can make it for different occasions with different flavors/colors of Jello.

Stained Glass Jello

4 small boxes of Jello (I used 2 lime and 2 cherry for Christmas)
1, 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes Knox gelatin

For each box of Jello, dissolve Jello mix in a bowl with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes. Pour into a loaf pan to set (this helps get the right size of Jello cubes). Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours. Repeat with all boxes of Jello.

After Jello is set cut the Jello into small blocks. Carefully mix the blocks in a 9x13 baking dish. Place in the refrigerator.

In a medium bowl sprinkle the 2 envelopes of Knox gelatin into 1/2 cup of cold water. Let sit for 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water and dissolve gelatin in it by stirring. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and allow to sit at room temperature until cooled. Pour cooled milk mixture over the blocks of jello in the 9x13 pan and chill until set or overnight.
