Mini-Muffin Pan & Citrus Peeler

[Jillmami]

I used the mini-muffin pan to make fruit jell-o jigglers and they were so easy! Just toss a piece of fruit into the little cup and then fill with jell-o! PLUS, use the flat end of the citrus peeler to get the jiggler out! SO EASY!! I put them upside down onto the various levels of the adjustable tiered tower and it made a gorgeous fruit jewel jiggler display!

Oh that sounds sooo neat!! I wish I'd thought of that earlier!! I'll have to remember this.

Cool!
Did you spray the muffin pan with cooking spray, or just put the jello in?

Very cool!

awesome!! I always cross sell those two- to get muffins out! I also keep those in my guest gift basket....so I always tell them about that.

Is this basket what you keep any gifts that you use for drawings, those who bring a friend, etc?


No spray. They come right out! I used one of the cooling trays in the fridge to double my space so that I could do two trays at a time as well. (I have a small fridge.)

even if they didn't pop right out- a very quick dip in hot water (just the bottom of the pan) should do the trick. I know that's the trick for other molds. Cool idea.

do they melt right away when you serve them on the tier stand? Great Idea!

 

[Jillmami]

Mine didn't. I used the large box of sugar-free jell-o with 2 cups hot water.

Wow... I never would have thought of this - sounds like an awesome, easy, oh-so-impressive snack!

I love this idea, what kind of fruit did you use? Just afraid anything citrus would make the jello to liquidy and not solidify. Thank you for the idea

The jello box lists the fruits that wont' work. I know fresh pineapple & papaya are no-nos.
The jiggler directions on the box call for less water, if I remember correctly. I am going shopping tomorrow to get some jello! Can't wait to try these!

Yes this is the basket. I always ask who has never been to a PC show and start there. I don't tell them up front that I have a gift because they all will want it. lol

This gives me an idea for a great back to school party for parents - combine this recipe with a few others and have a party for moms like me who like to give their children healthy alternatives to school lunches. Hmm...putting this in my planner to start working on details. Great idea!
