Layered Jello
4 small boxes (3oz) of jello in colors of your choice
2 small envelopes of unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups milk
1 pint sour cream
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Make all the jello at once, in separate bowls, according to manufacturer's directions, except use 1 cup boiling water, and only use 1/2 cup cold water. Leave at room temperature until needed.
Dissolve the 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin in boiling water, stirring well to ensure that it is completely dissolved. Heat milk until warm, and add the unflavored gelatin mixture and vanilla. Mix sugar and sour cream together, then add milk mixture. Mix well. Set aside until ready to use.
Pour one color of the jello into a 9x13" glass baking dish and refrigerate until completely set.
Pour 1-1/2 cups of the milk mixture on top of the first layer, allowing that to set. Then add another color gelatin, then another 1-1/2 cups of the milk mixture; repeating the different layers and allowing each layer to set; until everything is gone.
Chill well.
