  Categories: Desserts, Snacks, Kids
       Yield: 6 servings
  
       1    (12 oz) can frozen grape

   From: Vicki Lansky’s CANDY book
   
   GRAPE FINGER JELLO
   
   Soften gelatin in grape juice. Boil the water, add the
   juice/ gelatin mixture and stir til gelatin dissolves.
   Remove from heat, pour into a lightly greased 9x13 pan
   and chill. Cut into squares when firm. Refrigerate in
   a covered container. This is good lunch box and
   traveling fare. It can go unrefrigerated up to 4 hours
   under normal (not desert!) conditions.
   
   Variation: substitute frozen cranberry juice cocktail
   concentrate for grape juice. Or a 12 oz can frozen
   apple, pear, apple, juice concentrate.
   
   SLIPPERY CIRCLES
   
   Let any of the recipes for finger jello stand and
   chill til thickened which doesn't take very long (15
   to 25 minutes). Place a spoonful of the gelatin into
   each of 4 empty and clean 6 oz cans, such as usually
   used for frozen orange juice. Cut a peeled banana in
   half and center it in the can. Spoon in remaining
   gelatin. Chill till firm. To unmold, dip to rim in
   warm water and let it slide out. Or remove bottom of
   can if more appropriate. Cut into slices.
   
   SUNSHINE SQUARES
   
   (A Finger Jello that is good even for breakfast).
   
   4 envelopes unflavored gelatin 3/4 cup pineapple juice
   1 cup boiling water 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup orange juice
   
   Soften gelatin in pineapple juice. Add to boiling
   water and stir til dissolved. Add sweetener and orange
   juice. Chill in a 9x9 inch pan, then cut into squares.
   Refrigerate in a covered container. Variation: If you
   wish to use honey instead of sugar, decrease the
   orange juice by 1/8 of a cup.
   
   APPLE RING SNACKS
   
   Why pay for Weight Watchers Apple Snack when you can
   make your own?
   
   Peel an apple and remove the core. Slice in rings.
   Place on alightly greased cookie sheet, or on clear
   plastic wrap laid out on a cookie sheet. Dry in an
   electric oven at low or warm temperatures, In a gas
   oven the pilot light is sufficient. Drying takes 6-9
   hours, making this a good overnight project. The size
   of the apple slices and your oven temperature are the
   variables you will have to experiment with. The apples
   need not be dried to a crisp. Store in an airtight
   container. These should last several weeks at room
   temperature. Good for traveling!
