This is not a fancy meal, but it is a childhood memory for many people that grow up with this type of food and forgot about it. The recipe got lost in the back of our minds because we grow up and moved on. Our parents and grandparents may be passed away and the cookbook was never found, so what I hope to achieve is to dig out those recipes and try to recreate them into a new memory for you and a delicious meal idea.

Traditional Newfoundland Orange Jelly Salad
Traditional Newfoundland Orange Jelly Salad, made with jello, pineapple tidbits, peaches and freshly grated carrots. This salad was mostly eaten with a Sunday Cold Plate a long with many more salads.

I grow up eating homemade salads and this one for jelly salad was our favourite, it didn’t matter what colour it was or what ingredients our mom put in there we loved it. Every Sunday night we would have Cold Plate supper, this is different potato salads and cold slew, tomato, lettuce and cold cuts sliced ham, turkey roll, or leftover chicken cold.

Mmmmm! Jelly salad with our cold plate dinner.

Ok if you haven’t made or ate jelly salad before now you need to follow my video and make your own, it is a few steps but not a lot of work. We would only make the jelly salad in a glass bowl not in a fancy mould to display on the table. There were so many mouths to feed and by the time all the cold plates were scooped out in the plates there was no jelly salad left to display. 🙂

If you are a Newfoundlander you would remember all types of jelly salad, but for those of you that are not for there I’m sure you are interested in finding out how to make this lovely colourful jelly salad. Take a few minutes and check out my video thats posted at the beginning of my link, and follow along with my recipe. Not a lot of work but very tasty peared with a cold meal or on its own.

Ingredients Tick them off

Method Tap a step to keep your place

  1. Combine in a large bowl  jelly, hot water, orange juice, vinegar, lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt, mix well.

  2. Stir until dissolved, then put in the fridge for 45 minutes to 1 hour or less until slightly thickened.

  3. Remove from fridge and add the following ingredients, grated carrot, pineapple, peaches or oranges fold together until evenly combined.

  4. Pour into a mould or bowl of choice, place back into the fridge let set overnight.

  1. When ready to serve remove from the fridge place a plate on top and slowly flip over the mould, tap lightly to release from mould or bowl, or place in a double bowl with warm water for 1 minute.

  2. If using a silicone pan pull the side open a little after you flipped it over, if using a glass bowl you may need to place bowl in hot water for a minute then flip over into a plate or platter.

  3. Helpful Hints: You can use any colour of jello and use any type of ingredients that you like to put in your salad. For example: If you want to make a veggie jelly salad, use green jello and mixed vegetables. If you like to make a christmas or Valentine salad use red jello and cherries, strawberries, or fruit of choice. Can you see where I’m going with this, make it your own and lets make new traditions with Bonita’s Kitchen.

          Hi, can you tell me how many 1 oz servings you get from this recipe?

            Hi Paula: Thank you so much for your question and for stopping by, I’m glad you are looking at our jelly salad it is so tasty and of course can be different colours if you wish. To answer your question? I can give you a ball point guess on your question because I was never good at conversions 🙂 But I guess there is 16 oz in 2 cups and we have 2 cups of water, 1-1/2 cups OJ, 1/2 cup of vinegar so that would be 4 cups = 32 oz but again this is just a guess. I hope this helps and enjoy to the fullest.
            Stay safe and enjoy 🙂 Bonita
