we ate at my husband's boss' house tonight and one of the sides was a lemon/lime (? it was mostly clear with a neon yellowish tint) jello mixed with shredded carrots, green peppers, tomatos, cucumbers and celery and possibly some other veggies. it was surprisingly delicious. anybody have a similar recipe?

    ooops - I entered this thread thinking there was some vegetarian alternative to jello and was really excited. :)


    But, for non-vegetarians, I did find some interesting recipes on cooks.com, such as http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1632,150164-247198,00.html

    Hmmmm, sound like it would be a great way to get my kids to eat veggies (and I must admit, myself as well!) I buy veggie juices but I would prefer the "roughage" value of eating them whole.

    I've got to know too now!

    GET THAT RECIPE!!!

    Ever try agar agar?

    Ingredients:

    1 quart fruit juice
    4-5 tablespoons agar-agar flakes or 4 teaspoon agar-agar, powder
    1 pinch sea salt
    chopped fruit

    Directions:

    1 Place liquid, salt and agar-agar into saucepan, stir to dissolve the flakes.
    2 Bring to a boil, reduce flame and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes.
    3 Place any additional ingredients (fruits, etc) into a shallow bowl and pour hot liquid overall.
    4 Chill until jelled.

    I've never tried it, but I just may...if I can find out what agar agar is, and where to get it. lol

    Emes makes a vegan jello alternative - as does a brand called Natural Desserts!
