Vintage Gelatin Mold Recipes

Oh, you remember those gelatin mold recipes from your past, don’t you? I don’t actually remember anyone eating one, but whenever the neighborhood would throw a pot luck, someone was sure to bring a Jell-O mold. And sure enough, it’d awkwardly sit untouched among the piles of empty casserole containers, pie tins, and Dixie cups. As the evening wore on and people started to leave, everyone would take a small portion of it home and promised to “have it for lunch” the next day.
