Make Canned Peaches and Jello for a Salad or Dessert

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Drain the sliced peaches.

Step 2

If the sliced peaches were preserved in water, you can reserve the water and use it as part of the "cold water" . If the sliced peaches were preserved in syrup it is better to not to use the syrup as it tends to prevent the Jello from setting firmly.

Step 3

Add the gelatin/Jello crystals to the baking dish or bowl.

Step 4

Add the 3 cups of boiling water to the crystals in the bowl, stirring well to ensure all the crystals are completely dissolved.

Step 5

Add the 3 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well.

Step 6

Transfer the gelatin mixture to the refrigerator to allow it to become semi-firm - NOT fully set. This will take about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, but does vary, so be sure to check the Jello from time to time!

Step 7

Test the Jello by gently dipping a metal spoon into the gelatin - you will notice when the Jello has begun to thicken by how easily it slides off the spoon.

Step 8

When the Jello has begun to thicken, remove it from the refrigerator and gently fold in the drained, sliced peaches.

Step 9

Return the dish to the refrigerator and allow the Peaches and Jello Salad or Dessert to set completely for a few more hours or over-night.

Step 10

ENJOY!
