How to Make Patriotic Gelatin Salad
- In four separate bowls, dissolve 1 package (3 oz) of blue gelatin, 1 package (3 oz) of red gelatin, and 2 packages (3 oz each) of unflavored gelatin into 1 cup (8 oz) of boiling water each.
- Add 1/2 cup (4 oz) of cold water to each bowl and stir until completely dissolved.
- Lightly oil a 10-inch fluted tube pan. Pour the blue gelatin into the prepared pan.
- Refrigerate until almost set (approximately 30 minutes).
- Set the remaining bowls of red and unflavored gelatin aside at room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 packages of unflavored gelatin with 1/2 cup (4 oz) cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Heat 2 cups (16 oz) of milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the softened unflavored gelatin and 1 cup (200g) of sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the blue gelatin layer is almost set, carefully spoon 1 1/2 cups of the sour cream mixture evenly over the blue layer.
- Refrigerate until almost set (approximately 30 minutes).
- Carefully spoon the red gelatin evenly over the cream layer.
- Refrigerate until almost set (approximately 30 minutes).
- Repeat layers: blue gelatin, cream mixture, red gelatin, chilling for at least 30 minutes between each layer.
- Refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to fully set.
