Steps:
- You will be making two layers from each box of jello. Once you do the first one, you'll have the technique down.
- Use a clear Pyrex dish. The 9X14 size works great for six colors. If your dish is a little smaller, use 5 colors like I did this time.
- I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup to boil my water and a second one for pouring off part of the jello.
- Put one cup of water in your Pyrex measuring cup and boil the water in your microwave. I used the two-minute setting for this.
- Carefully remove the measuring cup from the microwave and add one package of gelatin. Stir until it is completely dissolved.
- Then measure out ¾ cup of the jello into a second container. To this container, add 1/3 cup of sour cream and whisk until it is smooth.
- To the remaining jello, add 2 TB of cold water and mix.
- Pour this into a 9X13 clear baking dish and refrigerate until set.
- After 30 minutes, pull your dish out of the refrigerator and pour the sour cream mixture over the first layer.
- Place the dish back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
- Wash your measuring cups and prepare the next layer of jello the same way you made the first layer -- one cup of solid color jello and one mixed with sour cream.
- Pour the clear jello mix over the top of the set layers. Then half an our later, add the sour cream mixture.
- Keep repeating this process until you have all the layers done.
- Cover with foil and refrigerate.

Steps:
- Bottom (purple) layer: Dissolve a 3-ounce package of grape flavored jello with 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin (1/2 envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin) in 1 cup of boiling water by stirring until completely dissolved. Pour into a 9x13-inch pan and transfer to the refrigerator. Make sure the pan is sitting completely flat. Chill until completely set, about 30 minutes.
- Second (white) layer: Make this layer at the same time as the bottom layer. Stir 2 teaspoons (1 envelope) of Knox unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water until dissolved. Add 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk and stir until combined. Let this sit out on the counter until cooled to room temperature, but not yet set while the previous layer sets up in the fridge.
- Once the first colored layer has set, make the next colored layer (berry blue) following the directions in Step 1 so it can start to cool. Then pour 3/4 cup of the white jello mixture over the colored layer and gently tilt the pan side to side for even distribution. Return jello to the refrigerator to set up, which takes about 20 minutes.
- Continue to make layers following steps 1 & 2, alternating flavored colorful layers (the next colors in rainbow order are green, yellow, orange, and red) with the creamy white layers, letting the jello set between each addition until all of the jello has been used up. You will need to make the white layer a couple of times because even without refrigeration it will set up on the counter if you make it all at once.
- Once the jello is completely set, slice into 1-inch squares using a paring knife (not a serrated blade which leaves marks in the jello) and serve. A small spatula will help you get the jello cubes out of the pan.

Steps:
- Very lightly grease a 9"x12" pan.
- Mix 1 box jello and 1 package gelatin with 1 cup boiling water.
- Pour into pan and refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
- While first layer is setting, dissolve 2 packages gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 3/4 cup boiling water. Cool to room temperature.
- Pour 1 cup milk mixture over the first jello layer; refrigerate until set.
- Repeat Step 1 with the next jello flavor, making sure it's at room temperature before carefully pouring over the milk layer.
- Alternate jello and milk layers, ending with the last jello flavor.
- Keep in mind that as you add more layers it will take longer to set. The jello layers can be mixed up before they are needed to save time, but don't do them all at once at the beginning or they may start gelling before you have a chance to pour them into the pan.
- Once all the layers are set, cut the jello into 2" squares or, for fun shapes, use small cookie or canape cutters.

7-LAYER JELLO
Very Good! Can change jello flavors to any flavor or color you want. My Mom makes this for get togethers and always get rave reviews. Use can use red and green for Christmas and so on. From THANK HEAVEN FOR HOME MADE COOKS cookbook. Use a 9 x 13 dish. Preferably glass because this is such a beautiful looking salad. Careful when adding the layers. Start out spooning it on and then tip pan and pour out over spoon as not to mix the layers. Worth the wait. Can use sugar-free jello, fat free evaporated milk, and lite cool whip.
