This dish is one of my mom's favorites. It's from an era when gelatin was used to create all kinds of crazy casseroles and side dishes. So, I was pretty incredulous when she started making this is my kitchen last Christmas eve. However, the flavor is pretty good and it complements a honey ham quite well. The consistency is jelly-like. (Think mint jelly with lamb, not jello cubes from childhood or jello shots from college.) That said, I prefer baked apples as a side. But endorse this is an option to mix it up every once in a while.
Boil 2 cups of water.
Add 1/2 cup of Cinnamon flavored Hard Candy and stir until fully dissolved.
Stir in 1 large or 2 small packets of Lemon Jello and stir until dissolved.
Reduce heat. Add 2 cups Applesauce. Mix well.
Pour into serving dish, or if you really want to be old school, a jello mold or decorative cake pan, and refrigerate until firm.
