This week I'll be sharing a recipe with you from a 1974 Jell-O cookbook I received for Christmas. You can see my review here. The recipe is actually from page 58 - there is a picture of the recipe on page 56 and 57.
Richelieu Mold
(photographed on page 56)
1 can (16 oz.) pitted dark sweet cherries
1 package (3 oz.) Jell-O Gelatin, any red flavor
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons orange juice
3/4 cup diced orange sections, well drained
1 cup Birds Eye Cool Whip Non-Dairy Whipped Topping, thawed, or prepared Dream Whip Whipped Topping
1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
Drain cherries reserving 3/4 cup of the syrup. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add reserved syrup and orange juice. Chill until thickened. Fold in cherries and oranges. Pour into a 4-cup mold or individual molds. Chill until firm-4 hours or overnight. Combine whipped topping, toasted almonds. Unmold gelatin. Serve with topping. Makes 3 1/2 cups or 6 servings.
Here's a picture of the Richelieu Mold from the book. It's the dark red one on the bottom left side.
This recipe sounds pretty good! I love old cookbooks.

That's what I thought! It's actually one of the normal sounding ones. :) Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI love reading cookbooks. This is one I think I had at one time
ReplyDeleteBack when it was new? Cool! :)
DeleteI would love this cookbook. I love to cook, experiment in the kitchen and LOVE Jell-O!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
This would be an excellent one to experiment with that's for sure! :)

DeleteI have a 70s cookbook for entertaining. It has some interesting recipes. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteI bet! Thanks for sharing! :)
DeleteI live by the mantra that there is always room for jello :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one to live by, isn't it? :)
DeleteThat sounds like a very interesting cookbook. Who doesn't love Jello. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Jello - just not the kind with mayo or sour cream in it. :D
DeleteThat Jello recipe does sound good. I think I have that cookbook somewhere. I have a few hundred cookbooks around my house and cook just once or twice a week - the consequences of living alone. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI do love jello. I would really appreciate that cookbook.
ReplyDeleteThe older ones are always interesting finds! :)
DeleteSounds scrumptious and - you've solved a mystery I've never been able to solve :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat you call, in the States, 'jelly' we, here in the UK, call 'jam'. which left me wondering what your name for our 'jelly' was. Now I know!! lol It's Jell-O! Best wishes for 2015.
Yep! :) We do have jam over here, by the way. It's got more of the fruit pulp (like preserves) whereas jelly is pulp free.
DeleteThanks for the best wishes for the coming new year.
I like that jello recipe. Sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes, it really does. :)
