What we ARE NOT eating, Wednesday

December is a month, meant for lots of great home cooking and old time family favorites! However something we are not eating are these little finger jello's, popular way back when. For me, I think it is the artificial color/flavor thing. And besides I can't run liver all the time!

4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 packages flavored gelatin - 3 oz box
3 c boiling water
1 c heavy cream

In a large bowl, combine gelatin, and boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add cream, stir well. Pour into a 9X13 pan and chill. Cut into 1 inch squares to serve.
