Gelatin has been used in desserts since the 15th century. Gelatin became popular in Victorian New York in the form of stunning and complex jelly. Gelatin desserts were popular with royalty and the wealthy. Jell-O is America's most popular brand of gelatin, and the terms are often used interchangeably.
Today, Jell-O desserts are popular at family gatherings, summer picnics, Church socials, school lunches and Christmas feasts. Jell-O desserts include not only fruit molds, but pies, fluffs and cakes.
This cookbook contains recipes for a variety of delicious Jell-O gelatin desserts.
