Making the most awesome crazy thing in the world... WINE JELLO!

After we saw a lovely article on thehairpin.com, we knew that this was our kind of cooking, baking, culinary adventure... It's totally easy to make (unless you put the whole bottle of wine in like I did the first time around!) and it definitely gets you excited for spring.


What you need:


-2 packets unflavored gelatin (we used Knox Gelatin, which has 4 packets in each box.

-1 cup of chilled rosé and make sure you get a nice one that you like!

-1 cup of water

-4 serving glasses (we used wine glasses, which seemed fitting since it's wine and all but if you want to make jello jigglers in the shape of hearts and stars do it!)


-Mix 1 cup of chilled rosé with the two packets of gelatin. Don't just pour in the whole bottle like I did, if you do that your jello will look like chunky yucky stuff.


-Boil 1 cup of water and make sure to wear a really cute apron while you do it. Mine's from Anthropologie and my necklace is 24k gold METL. Just cause you're boiling water doesn't mean you can't look chic!


-Once your water has boiled, immediately pour it into the rosé gelatin mixture and stir.






-Pour into pretty little glasses and chill in the fridge. It can take anywhere between 2-4 hours for the jello to set. But be patient, it all pays off in the end.




After about 2 hours of constantly checking the fridge every 5 minute to see how the jello was doing, it worked! It's a really cute pink color and very tasty. Because the wine is diluted there isn't much alcohol in it, but if you made the entire bottle of wine into jello and ate it all you might feel like you took some jello shots at a frat party... Just a fun little project for your Tuesday. Enjoy!

And if your curious here's the link to the original article from thehairpin.com http://thehairpin.com/2011/03/have-your-wine-and-eat-it-too They're much wittier than me but they don't have any magnetic jewelry in their pictures so I think I win.
