Steps:
- Decide on your color pattern (the order for the colors of Jell-O you've selected), and begin by working with the color that will go on the bottom.
- Boil 1 cup of water in the microwave.
- Add 1 packet of Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour 1/2 cup of this liquid into a 9x13 pan to create a "clear" layer, tilting pan for even coverage if necessary (see note).
- Refrigerate until set (see note).
- While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
- Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
- Refrigerate again until set.
- Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
- Refrigerate until serving.

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.

My best friend makes this every year for Easter. It is very a very simple recipe, but make sure you have a lot of time to finish it. I recommend starting it early the day before you will want to serve it.

Steps:
- 1. Get 5 small bowls out to start. Mix 1 box of Jello with 1 cup boiling water and ½ cup cold water. Do this with all of the colors at the same time.
- 2. Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat just until it reaches a lukewarm temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together 1 cup boiling water with the envelopes of plain gelatin. Whisk together until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the warm milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined and completely smooth with no lumps.
- 3. Pour the first color into a 9x13-inch pan and refrigerate until set (about 45 minutes, but can vary depending on the temperature of your fridge and how full it is). Once it's set, very gently pour 1½ cups of the sour cream mixture on top. Return to the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until set. Repeat with the colors and sour cream mixture until the last color is used (you will have some sour cream mixture leftover). When finished, refrigerate for at least another hour. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve; refrigerate leftovers.

RIBBON JELLO SALAD FROM MRS. B
A favorite family gave us this favorite recipe. This is time consuming and a bit of work so not for everyday. BUT it is visually stunning and also delicious. I like to substitute red and blue flavors with the white filling for 4th of July parties. But the original rainbow is great, too. Be sure to use a clear glass pan if you can.

Steps:
- For filling: Dissolve unflavored gelatin in cold water. Add milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat well.
- Layer in 9 X 13 pan, chilling between layers.
- First layer: jello 1, prepared as directed on package.
- Second layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
- Third layer: jello 2.
- Fourth layer 1 3/4 cup filling.
- Fifth layer: jello 3.
- Sixth layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
- Seventh layer: jello 4.
- IMPORTANT; Let each layer set well before adding another. (Chill in refrigerator between additions.) Also, let your prepared jello cool to room temperature before layering it into the pan on top of the previous layer. When you pour a new layer in, do not pour it directly on the previous layer. The stream of liquid may be strong enough to "slice" open the layer that is there. Instead, hold a large spoon down near the pan; pour the liquid onto the spoon and let it gently cascade into the pan. The filling will probably set up before you get through all the layers. You can warm it gently to re-liquify; just be sure it is not too hot when you pour it on the previous layer.
- Yes, it is worth it.

Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start, ensure all your ingredients are measured, chopped, and ready to go. This will make the assembly process much smoother.
- Use Fresh Fruit: Fresh fruit will give your Jell-O Ribbon Salad the best flavor and texture. If using canned fruit, drain it well and rinse it before adding it to the salad.
- Chill Before Serving: Jell-O Ribbon Salad needs time to set properly, so make sure you chill it for at least 4 hours before serving. Overnight is even better.
- Garnish Elegantly: A sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of fruit syrup can add a touch of elegance to your Jell-O Ribbon Salad.
