Thirsty Thursday...Liquid Jello

Okay, you might think this is absolutely crazy, but I didn't just think this up. Actually, back when I was a young child, Mama would take us to visit the other military wives and children in our neighborhood. And there was one woman who couldn't afford coffee for company. She had several small children, and her husband was in the Navy on the same ship as my Dad.

Well, she would bring out this beautiful coffee service [I can remember proudly announcing it looked like my china play tea set!]  and she served hot jello from the service.

Yes.... you read that right! She dissolved Jello flavored gelatin in the pot, and poured it in her service.

Of course, the kiddies all got a small cup, too. It was like having a real tea party to us!

Not long ago, I got out a packet of Sugar-free jello and decided I had to give it a try. Just to see if it was asmuch fun as when I was a child!

Simply start with one packet of Sugar-Free Jello [you choose the flavor... I chose cranberry for this experiment!] Instead of the usual 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of cold, pour 3 cups of boiling water in your favorite service pot [coffee or tea pot]. Pour in the single packet of Jello and stir to dissolve.

Makes 4 [3/4 cup each] servings.
