Another great recipe from my friend Holly Homemaker. I also use water, like Holly does, and our favorite J-ello to use with the applesauce is Lime, although Strawberry is also quite good. We love this topped with whipped cream or Cool Whip, and it has become a Sunday supper staple for a light dessert. I also make the doubled version of this recipe since I can use an entire quart of applesauce and it still turns out perfectly every time.
Applesauce Limette
1 1/2 c. applesauce (cold from the fridge is best)
3/4 c. water 'or' lemon/lime soda (I just use water)
1 (3 oz.) pkg. lime jello
Heat water or soda until boiling, then turn off heat and stir in jello, whisking until completely dissolved. Add cold applesauce to the jello mix and whisk to combine, then pour into an 8x8 or similar dish and refrigerate until set.
**Holly always doubles the recipe and has found she can easily use a whole quart jar of her home-canned applesauce and it turns out great every time. I know a quart of applesauce should measure 4 cups, but it always seems to come out less than that. So this is a great way to use up home canned quarts of applesauce, especially if you're like me and have 6 apple trees and 3/4 of your food storage is made up of quarts of applesauce from last years apple harvest. **If doubling the recipe, this fits perfectly into an 11x7 glass dish. *Try orange soda/orange jello, raspberry soda/raspberry jello, etc. *Using cold applesauce just helps to cool everything down sooner and it will set faster.
