"Bright and colorful cubes of strawberry, lime, orange, and lemon gelatin shine like stained glass in this pretty dessert."

Original Recipe Yield 1 9x13-inch pan

Ingredients

5 1/2 cups boiling water, divided
1 (3 ounce) package JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package JELL-O Orange Flavor Gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package JELL-O Lemon Flavor Gelatin
2 envelopes KNOX Unflavored Gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Add 1 cup boiling water to each flavor fruit gelatin; mix in separate bowls at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour each flavor of gelatin into separate small shallow food storage containers sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 min. Stir in 1-1/2 cups boiling water. Add condensed milk; mix well. Cool slightly.
Cut flavored gelatin into cubes. Randomly place cubes in 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Pour milk mixture over cubes. Stir very gently, if necessary to distribute gelatin cubes. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.

Footnotes

JELL-O Gelatin Preparation Tip: If you've added the boiling water to the dry JELL-O Gelatin and cannot get the gelatin to completely dissolve, place the gelatin in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on HIGH 30 sec. This should bring up the temperature of the water to a point where it is hot enough to completely dissolve the gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved.
Variation: Use 8x4-inch loaf pan. Unmold, then slice to serve.
