Creamsicle Jelly Recipes

Steps:

• Place contents of orange Jello packet in a large bowl. Add 2 cups boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water. Stir in 2 cups of Cool Whip. It will melt and dissolve. The mixture will be opaque. It will separate into a two layer Jello as it chills. Pour into 8-inch square pan. Chill until firm (preferably overnight). Cut into squares. I cut 6 x 6 for 36 squares.

Steps:

• 1. Combine orange juice, sugar, vanilla bean scrapings and beans (to extract as much flavor from them as possible) in a large pot (this one is a foamer). Bring to a boil over high heat and cook with the intention of reducing the volume by approximately half. Use a thermometer to track the temperature, so that you know when you're getting to 220 degrees (the set point of jams and jellies). When it has reached 220 degrees and is able to maintain that temperature even after a good stir*, add the pectin. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes and remove from heat. Remove the vanilla beans from the pot and pour jam into prepared jars. Wipe rims, apply lids and screw on bands. Process in a boiling water canner for ten minutes. When time is up, remove jars from processing pot and place them on a towel-lined countertop and let them cool undisturbed for several hours. When they are cool enough to handle, check the seals. Store any unsealed jars in the fridge and place the rest in your pantry. Eat this jelly on toast or stirred into yogurt (if you want to get the true creamsicle effect).

Steps:

• Stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes, or until completely dissolved.
• Stir in cold orange juice.
• Stir in ice cream until nice and smooth.
• Pour into a 5 cup mold or any glass dish or decorative bowl.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
• Unmold.

Steps:

• Combine strawberries, orange juice concentrate, and orange liqueur in an 8 to 10-quart pot. Gradually stir sugar into mixture until dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil, continually stirring. Add pectin, vanilla extract, and orange zest; return to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam using a metal spoon.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Whip the cream until stiff.
• Add the sugar and continue whipping.
• Add the eggs once at a time, beating continuously.
• Add the orange juice and vanilla pudding, beat until smooth.
• Pour into ice cream container and freeze.
