Pot of Gold

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I love holidays, as I've mentioned before, and at our house it really is all about the food for that holiday. I love making little things for my kids to help make that holiday a little special. This St. Patrick's Day has been a little bit different. We didn't get to wake up and see if we caught a Leprechaun, or have our green breakfast, lunch or dinner. All because we've been at a Hotel. I'm hoping that we can have our furnace put in today, then we will celebrate St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. :] In spite of it all we did all wear green today. :]

I love this dessert for St. Patrick's Day. It's cute, healthy, and the kids just love that they get to have their own pot of gold. Not to mention that it is really easy to make.

Pot of Gold

Ingredients

4 envelopes knox gelatine, unflavored

1 green pepper for each person

1 to 3 cups evaporated cane juice, depending on how many pot's of gold you're making

1 frozen fruit juice concentrate that will be yellow in color such as pineapple

Directions

When mixing your fruit juice and the directions say to add three cans of water, only add 1 1/2 to 2 cans of water. If you add all three cans of water your 'gold' will not be as flavorful. After your juice is mixed up, follow the directions on the back of the envelopes, but use honey and not sugar. After washing your green peppers, cut off the top and sprinkle the entire inside with evaporated cane juice; Shake out any excess. When your 'gold' is set, cut into small squares, fill the peppers with 'gold', serve and enjoy!!
