Vintage Bakelite Jewelry and Lime Jello Recipes from the 1930s

[@janicekamonin7596]

Ohhhh I l9ved this Jen. Your jell-o taste test was the best.

[@sundaebaubles]

Thanks so much, Janice!! 💚

A granny in Australia says...I really enjoyed that little trip through time. Anyone over 60 knows bakelite well. Had I only known that the old stuff I couldn't wait to get rid of was so valuable as vintage! If there had been any jewellery in my family I hope I would have had the good taste to treasure it. In the 50's jelly and fruit was positively gourmet, and watching you trying savoury jelly was a treat!

[@sundaebaubles]

This was such a fun video to make - and there will be a sequel (featuring orange) as soon as my schedule allows! I must also replace my ‘taste testing panel’, as my husband quit! 😂

[@wendywilhite2413]

What fun! Singing to a silly video, history, jewelry…always great, and lime jello with taste tests. This one has it all!!

[@sundaebaubles]

💚 Thank you, Wendy! Glad you enjoyed it, this video was a lot of fun to do!

🎵polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride 🎶 💚🤣. So clever. The translucent Bakelite is stunning and love the tasty names.. Apple Juice and Lime Jello. And your culinary skills are as refined as your jewelry knowledge. Big huge bravo 🙌 to your taste tester 💚

[@sundaebaubles]

☺️ Thank you, Sue! I had a lot of fun making this video! 💙💚

Jen that was informative and delightful…thank you🙏❤️

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you so much for watching, Molly! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@KierstenRedResale]

Omg Jen …. I’ve been sick so long and I needed a good laugh 😂….. thank you 🙏 my friend ❤️

[@sundaebaubles]

Hi Kiersten! I'm sorry to hear you've been under the weather - I hope you are feeling much better!!! ❤️ Laughter is the best medicine... and I would recommend you stay clear of these salads 😅

[@theadornedlocket]

Lol the taste test panel 🤣 Loved this as always!💚

[@sundaebaubles]

Lol - the panel was very hesitant to join initially, thank goodness for the desserts 😂 Thanks for watching!! 💚

[@AntiqueAgenda]

Such a wonderful video Jen!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!! ( I think Mr Bauble might never want to be your taste tester again after those salad recipes LOL!!!🤣)

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you so much for your kind words, it was so much fun to make! I let him know we have a round 2 coming up (spoiler alert - it’s orange) and he is seriously thinking about handing in his resignation 😂🤣😂

[@ginagaysellsjewerly]

Love that necklace your wearing ❤️

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you!! Come on over for some jello salads and I'll let you try it on! :D

[@barbaramulvenna]

Great video as usual! Oh, the Jell-O memories. Being a 20th century kid, I can’t remember holidays *without* some form of it!

[@sundaebaubles]

Thanks Barbara! I am hoping that means you got to enjoy many jello desserts and not the savory variety! ❤️

[@lfishrd]

Love the necklace and totally going to try the last recipe! 🍨

[@sundaebaubles]

Yay! Thank you for watching! I've just posted the recipe and instructions on the community tab on my youtube channel 💚

[@leonorcajaraville9664]

Love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@mariyaterzi7364]

Thank you Jen!. Another great video! Going to make the last one for sure. Now I have to get those molds ASAP 😄

[@sundaebaubles]

Thanks Mariya! The molds can be found inexpensively on Ebay ♥️

[@karenstephens6930]

Thanks Jen for all your wonderful info, this was fun !

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you so much, Karen! It was a lot of run to do 💖😘

[@mishka923]

Great Video, I always love it when our husbands go along with us especially with food "experiment night," I loved the spin on supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I also have an old Bakelite camera and radio in my collection.

[@sundaebaubles]

Hi Mishka! Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I was grateful he agreed to taste those salads 😂 (I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say “it’s better because of the vegetables” before!) Hang on to that camera & radio - fantastic pieces of history that are getting harder to find 💖

[@deniseblanchard2156]

Both interesting AND fun 😊 Thanks!

[@sundaebaubles]

Hi Denise! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤

[@jennpro5008]

great video Jen!! It definitely brought back sweet memories, my grandmother always made strawberry Jello with fresh bananas in it! So yummy!

[@sundaebaubles]

Thanks for watching, Jenn! That sounds delicious - I may have to try a strawberry banana jello combination for breakfast this week!

[@ishara_priestess]

LOL, that was a fun video! 🤣 The recipes you made with the lime jello reminded me of a jello fruit salad my granny used to make when I was young. Jello, imho, should be made into a dessert dish rather than a savory salad kind of thing. Interestingly, Bakelite is still made and used in household items. I just bought a German made non stick frying pan with a lid, and the removable handle and the lid knob are bakelite. Very informative video!!

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you, Ishara! I’m with you - jello makes for delightful desserts! Thanks for taking the time to comment & I’m going to look up those frying pans!

[@ishara_priestess]

The brand name is Drickate. Best nonstick I ever bought! 🤓

[@vintagejewelrygalore1053]

The desserts look delicious

[@sundaebaubles]

I was extra relieved after the salads! 😂💚

[@pegschwalbach2500]

My mother in law used to make dump salad which was lime jello, cottage cheese and crushed pineapple. It actually was pretty good. I love your videos Sundae but I might get your hubby some Tums! He's a sport though!

[@sundaebaubles]

Hahaha, thanks so much for watching and commenting, Peg! He was a good sport for sure 😂😅💚 My family used to have pineapple and cottage cheese as a summer lunch when we were kids - I can see how lime jello could complement it!

[@ginagaysellsjewerly]

Yay! Hey Jen ❤️

[@BeautiflyyBargains]

awesome I really enjoyed this haha you can pronounce th words so well. I don't know how I feel about the recipes myself ☺️ you guys are champs for trying them 😅

[@sundaebaubles]

🥰 Thanks for watching, Brandee! I admit to practicing saying polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride a few times 😅!! 💚 Thank goodness for the desserts - great palate cleansers!

[@Kim_Vardas53]

Your necklace is amazing! Jello reminds me of my grandmother and my mom. Grandma always served jello at lunch when I’d spend the weekend with her. Mom used to make lime jello with bananas and pineapple or red jello with strawberries! I still occasionally make her red jello with strawberries and sore cream layer at Thanksgiving! Lots of jello memories!

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you Kim - I love your memories, thanks for sharing them! Ambrosia 'salad' was often served at thanksgiving meals when I lived in the prairies, and I am still confused about whether it was meant to be enjoyed with the main or as a dessert!

[@hollydawsonjames1999]

I loved the info on the Bakelite The jello was recipes lol

[@sundaebaubles]

This was such a fun one to do! I'm working on the next jello/bakelite installment... but I'm having to find a new taste tester! LOL

[@hollydawsonjames1999]

@@sundaebaubles to funny, hubby is jumping ship on you

[@sarsarsvintagejewelry]

Super interesting! No Jello salads for me though.

[@sundaebaubles]

Thanks, SarSar! If you ever want to try some, I am happy to share the 1929/1930 recipes with you! ❤️

[@soniamaxwell5679]

Nice videos

[@sundaebaubles]

Thank you! 💚

[@rnrcyberpicker]

Hi Jen! I can’t imagine eating jello salad😅

[@sundaebaubles]

Hi Romel! They are an experience 😂 ... and quite possibly an acquired taste?

[@BGracesGems]

Jen, How are you?? Miss seeing you. I hope that all is well!!!

[@sundaebaubles]

Hi Brigitta! It's been quite a summer (best laid plans went out the window) - but things are becoming routine again and I'll be "around" in all the usual haunts soon! I've missed posting too - something will go up this week! Thanks for thinking of me, I hope that you are well and having a wonderful summer! ❤

[@vintagejewelrygalore1053]

🤣🤣 love the pronunciation video

[@sundaebaubles]

😂👍💚

[@livingskiesvintage]

I was born in the 50s and hated the jello salads we always were served! YUK

[@sundaebaubles]

Absolutely understand the YUK sentiment now that I’ve tried a few myself! They are incredibly confusing to the taste buds 🤪
