Re: Purple Fluff Recipe for Intro

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the recipe, Janet. I can't wait to try it! You said that you put

the whipped jell-o into little containers and froze it, could you also put

it into popsicle molds and make popsicles, or would they hold together??

Any more jell-o ideas, please pass on- my son loves jell-o and it's one

thing that he can have right now.

Thanks, again.

I had the same thought about using the purple fluff for popsicles and

plan to try it with a batch tomorrow. It's still a little wiggly

frozen, but I think they would hold nicely. I also thought for later

after the intro, trying to color the white grape juice w/ maybe cherry

juice or something like that to make pink fluff. Maybe try out

different fruits and veggies to vary the colors.

There was one more recipe I saw somewhere- maybe allrecipes.com?- that

I printed to try when we start stage one with pear or applesauce and

gelatin. Will post if it works out.

I noticed that when the gelatin is whipped, it's a little less sweet

than the regular intro gelatin- my son didn't seem to mind that it

tasted more diluted though- which is good since I'm trying to hold off

on honey for a while this time.

If that recipe with the pear and gelatin works, please pass it along. The

only fruits my son is aloud right now is pears and cranberries. I'm always

looking for pear ideas. Thanks. Amber.

Hi Janet,

have you tried making the purple fluff into popsicles yet?

Well, like I said, my son is only eating pears and cranberries for fruit

right now, so I take his pear juice mix it half with water and make

popsicles out of it, and he loves them. I take pear juice and make him

jell-o, and he loves that. Yesterday, I made him jell-o and after it was

set, and beat it with my mixette, I don't know if that is what you are

supposed to whip it with, and I'm not sure if I beat it enough. I made him a

couple of popsicles with it, and they turned out, they held together. They

didn't have as much flavor as the plain juice ones, and they had a wierd

feel to them. I thought he didn't like them, so I took it away and gave him

a juice one, and he went and got it and finished it, so he must like them.

I don't suppose you found that recipe with the pear and gelatin, did it work

out? Any other creations to pass on??? Thanks for everything.

Amber.

Amber,

Earlier today, I typed a big long response to this, but when I went to

post it, I got a message that pecanbread was unavailable and it didn't

seem to post!

Anyway, the gist was that I haven't done anymore juice based foods

with Cody- they all seem to aggrevate his diarrhea. I have made him

homemade carrot, granny smith and spinach juice for a few years that

he just loves, but the commerical juices bother him for some reason-

always have. I recently made him some pearsauce and applesauce from

scratch that he just loved. It took so much work and time that I

didn't want to use it all up in an experiment recipe at this point.

Basically, the recipe I ran across was just to use:

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 3 oz lemon jello (was going to try plain gelatin & add some lemon

juice & /or zest w/ the sauce)

1 1/2 cups apple (or pear) sauce

Dissolve gelatin in boiling water and add applesauce. Chill. I had

thought about trying to mold this with maybe his Winnie the Pooh

Popsicle molds or something fun.

I thought the puple fluff was a little blander too. Cody still liked

it a lot, but if he ever tolerates juice than I will most likely not

water it down so much or add a little honey maybe?

If I come across any great recipes with cranberries & /or pears I will

let you know. Currently have my million and one cookbooks pulled out

trying to get some more inspiration!
