Continuing with the theme of keeping cool this summer, I discovered some great ideas online. Look at these adorable Jello slices. You can do this with Lemons, Limes or Oranges. Here are the basic instructions.
1. Cut your fruit in half and carve out the inside so that you just have a shell.
2. Prepare your flavored jello according to the instructions on the package AND add a packet of unflavored gelatin to make the jello firmer.
3. Pour the jello into the halved fruit and cool in the refrigerator.
4. Once the jello is set, then you can cut them into slices.
You can use lemon jello for lemon slices, orange for orange slices and lime for lime. Or use watermelon jello with limes for a whimsical dessert. Decorate with edible "seeds" (candy, herbs, etc.) A lot of people have used this idea for making shots, but you can just use water or juice in the jello mixture for a kid-friendly summertime treat.
