Kid Friendly Food – Jelly Pinwheels

I have no idea where this recipe originally came from, but I’ve had it and this picture saved on my computer for a long time. It is a really simple recipe, and kids especially love it. As does my jelly (jello in the States) loving father – in – law. It always elicits a response and is a great conversation piece for the amount of effort involved.

Particularly good for spring barbecues or kids parties.

Ingredients

• 1 package Jelly (Gelatin Jello) any flavour
• ½ cup warm water
• 12 large marshmallows
