The 1970's Cranberry Salad Candle | Barry Tries

[@mrbarrylewis]

This could be a new thing, make any dish, stick a birthday candle in it and boom, your roast dinner becomes a roast dinner candle! Hope you enjoyed the video! For more Barry tries attempts, check out this playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpjdqZhtn69ppaM

put the mix in to a clean tin can, instead of a glass. then you can open the bottom up to push the set candle out.

[@Msfelixthecatz]

Barry, most of the weight of fruit flavored gelatin is sugar. So you don't need much plain gelatin at all.

[@jennanelson7671]

oh god do not do 7 packets.... the fruit jelly has other stuff....

[@momkatmax]

Right only about ONE packet of the gelatin per cup of liquid to make a nice gell.

To unmold gelatin, place in a bowl of warm water (do not fully submerge) for about 10-15 seconds and turn over. If it's still stuck, burp it (by slidding a knife on one side while upside down) and it should dislodge easily

Hi Barry! So the story is, Hellmann's suddenly had automated Mayo, at a time you either made your own or went without, so they paid for a bunch of magazine ads with recipes they made up to sell the Mayo. See also jello.

Very odd but only yesterday I was scrolling through some of Barry's vids and saw his 1960's potato igloo thing and wondered if he was going to do another odd retro food of the past........and here we are to satisfy my thoughts. Good for you Baz.

[@tmf866]

In the US we have something called "Pam" which is a spray oil-based food lubricant, you spray it into whatever you're going to put food in and it helps it come out - so you'd have sprayed it into the glass before you added the "candle" and it would have helped it come out. You might look to see if you can find something like that, or else use an olive oil spritzer.

[@paulherman5822]

Gelatine based food was definitely a thing in the 1970s. I remember (actually fondly) the gelatine desserts my grandmother made for every family get-together. And mustn't forget the EPFOT (like the EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World, but Experimental Prototype Food Of Tomorrow 😁) served at my school...😬

[@brianartillery]

My secondary school often served 'YMCA', or: 'Yesterday's Muck Cooked Again'.

[@paulherman5822]

@@brianartillery I think that, because I was in college in Florida, is why EPFOT. Not the official name, it was another gelatine based dessert, basically blended with I think cream cheese. Almost exactly the "high protein" snack served in a nursing home I'd worked at.

[@tmf866]

Most likely Hellman's and Ocean Spray belonged to the same company, so while one sponsored the recipe, the parent company wanted them to use the other brand. Most Ocean Spray cranberry products come from here in Massachusetts. You can visit the cranberry bogs, it's very picturesque.

Barry, the gelatin they are referring to is Jello, which is a mix of sugar and gelatin, the small package of jello is good enough for 2 cups of liquid, so you were fine with just one packet of pure gelatin. Anymore than that, it will be stiff as a board!

Also in America our whole cranberry sauce comes in a can (tin) and from the looks of the photo they repurposed the can as the mold for the "candle" I'm sure it still tastes horrific but if you wanted to give it a proper try may consider making those changes. A very fun video just the same!
