This was great! I found it on the back of an envelope of Knox gelatine and threw it out before I knew how much I liked it. Thanks for posting.

This is the one. Made according to directions it layers beautifully in a mold or in individual sherbet glasses. Thanks so much for this recipe - it brings back an old family tradition that had been lost. I inherited the family mold, brought from Germany in the 1800's but the recipe died with my great-aunt. This is so close to my memory that it will become the new tradition and I will pass down the recipe with the mold this time!
