Jello Recipes


So, for my final project I will be making some Jell-O based recipes for general consumption.

a brief jell-o history
In 1845, Peter Cooper invented a gelatin-type dessert. He put a patent on the product, but never promoted it. The patent was sold to Frank Woodward.
Jell-O brand gelatin was released in 1902 by the Genesee Pure Food Company. In 1904, the company mass distributed free Jell-O cookbooks, which brought it to mainstream popularity. This was they key to Jell-O's success--the company itself released things that it could be made into. Celebrity testimonials began coming out in the 1930s; actresses like Ethel Barrymore proclaimed that Jell-O was the perfect after-dinner treat.
The first appearance of congealed Jell-O salads was in 1930; Jell-O released lime gelatin, a flavor that would supposedly combine well with the most popular things Americans were putting in these salads. In addition, during the 1950s, Jell-O released celery, Italian, mixed vegetable and tomato flavored gelatin.
