Peachy Keen Tutti Frutti Jello Salad #SundaySupper

I really love this week's #SundaySupper theme!  Today we are celebrating all things retro in the kitchen.

If you ask my kiddies what period in time they consider to be retro, they'll say it's the 1980's and 90's.  But they're kids, what do they know?!  When I think of the word "retro", I think of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.  The good ol' days.  There was a time, before I got married and had 4 kiddies, that I dreamed of being a 1950's style housewife.   They were so glamorous on TV, with their beautiful dresses, perfectly coiffed hair, and pearl necklaces.  No matter what they were doing, whether it was cooking or cleaning, they always looked impeccable and made everything look easy.

But the closest I get to even remotely resembling that 1950's housewife is when I listen to Michael Bublé while I'm cleaning house.  I feel like I should be all dressed up in heels and pearls, with my broom in one hand, and a martini in the other.  

Anyway....when I sat down to think about what I should make for this week's #SundaySupper theme, only one food came to mind....Jello!  Jiggly, wobbly jello.  After having lived in Mexico for 12 years, I know a thing or two about jello.  Did you know that in Mexico it's customary to serve cake & jello at birthday parties instead of cake & ice cream?

This Peachy Keen Tutti-Frutti Jello Salad is the first jello my suegra (mother-in-law) taught me how to make.

What foods do you consider to be retro?

Peachy Keen Tutti-Frutti Jello Salad

Ingredients: 

• 2 (6 oz.)  boxes peach flavored Jello 
• 4 cups water
• 1 large can fruit cocktail
• 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions: 
Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan; remove from heat. Dissolve the 2 boxes of peach flavored jello in the boiling water.  Set aside to let cool slightly.

Drain the can of fruit cocktail, reserving the syrup.  You will need 1 cup of the syrup.  If you don't have enough syrup, add enough water to the syrup to measure one cup.

In a large bowl, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and the reserved syrup from the fruit cocktail.

Pour the milk mixture into the jello mixture and stir with a wire whisk until well combined.

Gently stir in the fruit cocktail.  Pour the jello into a 10-cup ring pan or plastic jello mold.  (To insure the jello won't stick to the pan, lightly coat it with vegetable spray.)  Refrigerate for about 3 hours or overnight, until the jello is firm.

Enjoy! :)
