Layered Gelatin Salad

A festive salad to serve at Christmas. This layered gelatin salad takes a bit of time to make but it will wow your family. Mine hardly believed that I had made it.

• 1 small package cherry gelatin
• 1 small package lemon gelatin
• 1 small package orange gelatin
• 1 small package lime gelatin
• 4 cups boiling water, divided
• 2 1/2 cups cold water, divided
• 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
• 2 cups milk

• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla 

1. Dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir till gelatin is dissolved.
2. Pour into a 13" x 9" x 2" pan sprayed with cooking oil. Refrigerate until set, not firm.
3. In a small saucepan sprinkle unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup of water, allow to sit for 1 minute.
4. Stir in milk and sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until gelatin and sugar are dissolved.
5. Remove from heat, whisk in sour cream and vanilla until mixture is smooth and creamy.
6. Spoon 1 2/3 cup of this creamy gelatin over layer of the cherry gelatin that has set.
7. Chill until set but not firm.
8. Prepare the remaining gelatin flavors as you did the cherry gelatin, alternating the layers of gelatin with the creamy gelatin mixture, allowing each one to set before adding the next layer.
