If you use Black Cherry Jell-O, the resulting flavor bears a strong resemblance to "Formula 44" Cough Syrup.

This alternate recipe uses 4 oz. water and 12 oz. Coca-Cola; in other words, you can use one standard soda can.

* We've discovered, not too surprisingly, that there's a lot of variation in lemon-lime sodas. I think 7-Up is the sweetest of the bunch; you could probably use 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of cold 7-up. (Or, boil 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of 7-up; that way the 7-up comes to 12 oz., or one can.)
We're trying to find who produced the Lemon-Lime Soda for Smith's Grocery Stores. I say "produced" (past tense), because Smiths has pulled out of Southern California. (Back to Utah.) If anyone knows the answer to this question... we've managed to rule out it being the same as Sprite, Slice, or 7-up right off the bat, those are all much sweeter than the Smiths. (The Ralphs Grocery Store house brand is fairly similar.)

Step 2.
Wait for all the Jell-O to chill. It's easiest to just come back the
next day, but you do want to make sure the Jell-O is set.
Use the Knox on the soda pop. This means pour half into a container
(I use a large glass measure), sprinkle the gelatine over it, boil the
rest of the soda, and pour it on top.
(At this point you are basically making soda-pop gelatine; if you want to, you could stop here and serve your family clear soda-flavored gelatine. They'd probably scratch their heads over it, though.)
Step 3.
Put the soda pop-gelatine mixture in the big pot. Let it cool to room
temperature.
Get out the pans of chilled Jell-O. Start cutting the Jell-O up into
little cubes. To unmould the Jell-O, let each pan sit in some warm water
for about 10 seconds at a time, and then try knocking the cubes out.
Or just let it sit long enough to melt... :) When all the cubes come
out, put them in the pot.
Step 4.
At this point you should have a big pot of jell-o - different color
chunks floating in a mass of clear Jell-O.
Get that ladle, and stir it up a bit, and then start filling up your
cups. I recommend using the plastic cups because you've got a *LOT* of
Jell-O here. Chill the servings until firm.
I recommend using clear cups for the best effect. You'll need a lot of dessert cups; you could use custard cups, or just buy a whole bag of plastic cups. The result should be a bunch of different color lumps in a clear gel mixture.
I got this idea from someone describing "Stained Glass Jell-O;" the idea of jelling soda pop to get a clear base is my own. I made a big batch for the Worldcon, and then cut the recipe in half for inclusion here. (If you would rather make 5 quarts of Jell-O, go right ahead and double the quantities you see here...)
August 1996, served at L.A.con III (the 54th World Science Fiction Convention)
Note that letting the darker color set first means that if the second color overflows on top of the first, it won't be obvious.
I had originally intended to use Sugar-Free Lemon and Lime to make a "Diet Lymon" combination. However, the three closest supermarkets don't carry the Sugar-Free Lemon flavor... It would have worked with regular flavors, of course, but I wanted to have one sugar-free combo in the assortment.

Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
If you're making several batches of these things, I suggest using an extra cup of boiling water; that's the usual proportions for Jigglers. The Egg Jiggler recipe makes a smaller batch because it's geared for the size of the egg mold.

Stir remaining 2/3 cup of the boiling water (I reboiled the water after the first hour was up) and repeat the process with the second flavor of JELLO.
Refrigerate at least 3 hours.

I got the idea from a random remark on the newsgroup alt.folklore.urban. Apparently, the idea for coffee gelatin dates back at least to the '50s. Enjoy!

*Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple juice.
NOTE: If desired, chill till consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Fold in 1.5 cups fruit or vegetables.
[My notes: If you are using reconstituted fruit juice (such as Minute Maid frozen orange juice) consider using less water when you reconstitute it. For example, if a 12-oz. can of o.j. calls for 3 cans of water, or in other words fill it to the 48 oz. line, try only filling it to the 24 oz. (3 c.) or 32 oz. (4 c.) line and using that result for the gelatine. This would apply for use with the regular gelatine recipe (above) or the Knox Blox (below).]

The Drazi people are an alien race on the television show "Babylon 5." Every five years they draw green and purple sashes from a great barrel, and split into two peoples, the Green and the Purple. The two sides then fight it out until one side gives up.
It's amusing watching people pick up what they think is going to be lime-flavored, and trying to make sense of what they taste...

When I first attempted to combine blue and red Jell-O, I used Watermelon, but the result was still very blue. I then tried the Wild Strawberry. The result ws a very dark purple. Next time I used a small blue and a large red.

Yellow Lime Jell-O v1.2
(A substitution w/ lemon flavor.)
This is an attempt to make lime-flavored jello out of lemon-flavored jello,
for those occasions when the
lime flavor
isn't available but lemon is.
Follow the usual directions for boiling water, and mixing up the batch, and stir in the lime juice.
Your batch will be yellow, with some of the pulp from the limes in it (unless you strained the juice). Or you can add a drop of green food coloring to give it a light green color.

I've had two biological kids, three step-kids, two foster kids and a few adult friends that were a little too clinging for my taste and I swear this recipe works for all parties.
Mix Berry Blue Jell-O in a huge bowl and drop in gummi fish and gummi worms.
If you are like my daughter, add a distressed gummi diver and strawberry coloring [or grenadine] for dramatic effect. (This was a special moment for her).
Put it in the icebox, until the children talk you into getting it out just before it's congealed and then surrender to their appetities.
The children will go insane, eat this stuff like crazy, and prep time is nill.
If you are really creative you can build a gummi Gilligan's Island on top of the thing but be forewarned if they are born after 1989 they will not join you in the theme song. Don't let this bit of generation gap depress you, it is inevitable, just get over it.
Take care,

Use a new or well cleaned goldfish bowl. In the bottom, the original recipe called for red-hots as the 'gravel', but I plan to use the Jelly Belly beans that look like rocks. Mix up as much blue Jello as your bowl will hold. Mix using ice cubes & cold water instead of the cold water called for on the box. Pour this into the bowl over a knife blade or something to keep from disturbing the gravel. If you want it to have 'seaweed', poke a couple of pieces of purple endive or something similar down into the gravel. When the whole thing starts to jell, use a wooden skewer to push gummi fish into different parts of the bowl. If you're going to be able to supervise the serving, you could even add a plastic diver man, etc. Hope this makes sense!

The only one I can remember off the top of my head is "eye balls." Put lemon jello in ice cube trays and then float a blueberry in the middle of it.
