Sunrise Salad

I used 2 tablespoons of corn starch, 2 eggs, and 1/3 cup sugar and mixed everything together. Heated in the microwave and whisked at two-minute intervals until boiling. Great results!

I just made this today for a Christmas brunch. Everyone loved it and one person asked for the recipe. Hubby who doesn’t like sour cream ate it and liked it.

We enjoyed this salad with our meal for Easter. We all really enjoyed the flavour. As another reviewer suggested, I mixed the bananas with the sour cream before mixing them in with the jello. After you pour in the strawberries, the jello sets very quickly, which surprised me. It would seem that in Canada the 6 oz box of jello is not an option, so I used 2 – 3 oz boxes (85 g each). I bought a 600 g bag of frozen strawberries and this measured at almost exactly 20 oz. I might try setting the jello a little more before adding the sour cream and bananas. It was slightly more runny than I thought it should be. Still very tasty – everyone wanted more!

delicious! I was not expecting such an awesome salad! Mixed the sour cream with my banana mixture like others explained. refrigerated overnight. Great flavor of strawberry and hints of banana. Very thick and refreshing. It’s a keeper.

Delicious! It didn’t set as well as I had hoped, not to the point of being runny though. I will likely make it again with less sour cream or an extra 3 oz pkg of jello

I made one change to this recipe and that was adding a half package of mini marshmallows to the salad when I folded in the sour cream. The recipe dosen’t specify using low sugar or lighter products but I did use sugar free Jello and reduced fat sour cream. This was really yummy!

This is a great recipe! I’ve made a double batch in a large bowl for both of my kids’ graduation parties; it has been devoured both times. It is very easy to make and very tasty!

This was a big hit! I only had a 3 ounce package of gelatin so I also used a 3 ounce package of instant vanilla pudding. I bet its great either way!

I was hoping for something better, I guess. Easy to make, so that is a plus.

Made this twice now …Easter and Christmas. I’ve always made something similar only with cool whip….yuck…oil. Love the sour cream! I’ve always for some reason used Strawberries, but used Raspberry Jello…very good combination. Good with and without banana. Thanks for sharing this very nice jello salad. Will continue to use this recipe every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. I’d like to try…crushed pineapple/lime or lemon jello. Canned mandarin oranges with Orange jello. EDIT..If you let the jello and fruit mixture thickin a little in the fridge for about an hour to an hour and a half, the sour cream mixes much better. I have a problem with the fruit going to the top and the sourcream to the bottom. Hope I explained myself well enough 🙂

I grew up with this and couldnt find it in my recipe box…thanks for posting. Growing up we didnt add banana….just strawberries. Must say I enjoy it both ways.

Better flavor than I anticipated.

I loved this recipe. I made it by the directions and it was great. I wouldn’t change anything.

Refreshing! My 2 yr. old doesn’t like the jiggly texture of jello yet, but loves this, since it is so creamy. I used plain yogurt in place of sour cream. If someone doesn’t like the chunks of sour cream, all they have to do is mix it in with the banana mixture before stirring into jello mixture. We like using blackberries rather than strawberries. I’ve also made it with orange jello and blueberries. Yum!

I didn’t think this recipe was anything special, but it was good. I used sugar-free jello & fat-free sour cream, so I gave it 4 stars over 3 since it was tasty for how low-cal it was. Good, but not amazing.

I used fresh strawberries and light sour cream with this recipe and turned out great. I did not have the problem of it not setting, nice and creamy…. the family loved it.

THis was great at our Thanksgiving table. Didn’t have a problem with it setting up like others mentions. It was perfect—though I had to go with different size of strawberry container (couldn’t find 10 oz, went with 16 oz). I agree with other review who said it tasted like a smoothie. Yummy! Thanks for sharing. Banana kind of went brown in it but I guess that is what the lemon juice is for.

I found it very watery, it would not hold its jello shape. Would not try this recipe again.

i dont know why this recipe doesnt have more reviews, people must not make a lot of jello my family LOVES jello and they LOVE this recipe i did alter it a bit, i use 1 cup of sour cream instead of 2 and i add 1 cup of cold water after the jello is added to the 2 cups boiling water and i mix the smashed banana with the sour cream. Great recipe we will use it for all major holidays along with the 7 layer jello and pretzel jello.

I have made this recipe twice. I love the flavors, especially the mashed banana; but both times it has come out very watery. I think that next time I might try to reduce the amount of water in it.
