1

Set up the boxes of jell-o in the order of cherry, lime, strawberry, raspberry, lime, and strawberry.

2

Prepare a 9 by 11 glass casserole dish, a large measuring cup, and two bowls.

3

In the large measuring cup, add 1 cup of boiling water and stir in the first box of jell-o until dissolved.

4

Divide the jell-o mixture between two bowls.

5

In the first bowl, add 1/3 cup of cold water, stir, and pour it into the casserole dish.

6

Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for about 15 to 20 minutes.

7

In the second bowl, add 1/3 cup of sour cream and whisk until fully blended with the gelatin until clear.

8

Once the first layer has chilled, pour the sour cream mixture over it and return the dish to the refrigerator.

9

Repeat the process: for the next layer, add boiling water to the second box of jell-o, stir, divide between two bowls, and add 1/3 cup of cold water to one bowl, pouring it into the dish after the previous layer has set.

10

Continue alternating layers of jell-o and sour cream for about three and a half hours until all layers are set.

11

Once completely set, cut the jell-o salad with a sharp knife and serve generous portions.
