Pat Anthony                      RIBBON SALAD

2 c milk          1 c sugar        1/2 c water          2 Knox gelatin

1 tsp. vanilla    2 c sour cream   1 pkg. lime Jello    1 pkg orange Jello

1 pkg. lemon Jello                 1 pkg. cherry Jello

Put 1/2 c water into small sauce dish, sprinkle 2 envelopes Knox gelatine on water to soften.  In a 2 qt. sauce pan bring milk to a rolling boil and remove from heat.  Dissolve sugar in milk.  Put softened gelatine into hot milk mixture and stir until gelatine is dissolved.  Add vanilla, and sour cream, stir until well blended and put mixture aside to cool on counter. NOT IN REFRIGERATOR.  Dissolve each Jello flavor separately, using 1 1/2 c boiling water for each.  Set aside on counter to cool.  When lime Jello is slightly cooled, pour into a 13x9x2" pan.  Chill in refrigerator until firm.  When this is firm spread 1 1/2 c sour cream mixture over it. Again chill until firm in refrigerator.  Follow this layer with the orange Jello; when firm spread 1 1/2 cups sour cream mixture over orange layer; when firm add the lemon Jello when firm spread 1 1/2 c. sour cream mixture over this layer.  Then the cherry Jello. LET EACH LAYER SET UNTIL 'TACKY', BEFORE ADDING NEXT LAYER.
