Rhubarb-Jell-O Torte

Administrator — Sat, 31 May 2008 15:37:42 +0000

Crust:
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbls Crisco
Mix together like pie crust. Add 2 beaten eggs
and 2 Tbls milk. Mix and pack into 9×13 cake pan.

Layer 5 to 6 cups cut-up rhubarb on top of crust.
Sprinkle with 2 small boxes or 1 large (6 oz) box dry jell-o.

Topping:
2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter (softened)
Mix topping ingredients together and sprinkle over
rhubarb . Bake at 375* for 30 minutes or until
rhubarb is tender.

I like to use 2 small boxes of jell-o. That way I can mix flavors
such as strawberry & raspberry, strawberry & cherry, raspberry
& cranberry or cherry & cranberry. I also use the sugar-free
jell-o. Also for the topping, it works to use 1 cup sugar and
1 cup Splenda instead of 2 cups of sugar.

Fantastic Frozen Strawberries

Administrator — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 20:42:16 +0000

1 pkg Sure-Jell
4 to 6 qts strawberries
3 C sugar
Put cleaned berries in a large bowl with sugar. Mix carefully. Mix Sure-Jell with 1 cup water and boil for 1 minute. Pour over berries and mix carefully. Let stand 10 minutes.
Put berries in freezer containers. The berries will be bright red and thickened slightly. These taste like fresh strawberries when thawed and used.
You can use less sugar. This recipe came out of ‘The Wisconsin State Farmer’ many years ago.
