This is like a rice pudding/jello mold. This is from a recipe clipping that my grandmother kept--I'm not sure exactly which magazine it is from, but it looks like it is from "Country" or "Taste of Home". It looks very pretty in the picture. Seems easy to make too. Original recipe from Lori Jeane Schlect of Wimbledon, ND.
