Okay - now that I’ve got your attention -
heck - we all know you can’t deep fry jello!
Maybe as an ingredient in something - but not actual jello.
Time to think outside the box - this is a nice syrup for pancakes, waffles, desserts, ice cream, etc. Orange syrup over pancakes with mandarin orange pieces throughout the batter is good. Or try blueberry or strawberry or pineapple, etc.
PANCAKE SYRUP WITH JELLO
As a gift from “your kitchen” …
1 small pkg. of Jello (any flavor)
½ cup sugar
2 Tbsp. corn starch
1 cup water
Mix the dry ingredients, then add the water. Mix. Boil until it thickens to the right (“syrupy”) consistency. Put into pretty bottles and decorate for gifts.
There is a restaurant in Rockville Indiana that deep fries everything on the menu. I don’t remember what it is called but saw it written up in a travel guide.
Had to smile when I saw your heading…deep fried jello…as our local news this pm was just talking about a guy mixing dry kool-aid with some type of batter & frying it. Thought you had come up with a better dea using jello instead.
Actually, I think your jello syrup recipe sounds good, love the idea of using it as gifts.
