- Today, we're talking about the 4th of July, y'all.
0:04
that I'm fixing to share with, y'all, is so good.
0:07
It's a sweet and salty.
0:09
And my daughter-in-law, Brooke,
0:10
brings this every Christmas for our Christmas dinner.
0:18
And it's one of those that can also,
0:22
any holiday, like Valentine's Day, the 4th of July,
0:28
any holiday that has like red in it.
0:32
So, we're doing this for the 4th of July.
0:34
We ain't gonna wait until Christmas for this one.
0:37
So, it's, I'm gonna spray it just a little bit.
0:41
We got so much butter, I don't think we'll need it.
0:45
We gonna start with a couple of cups of crushed pretzels.
0:50
So, there, we've got our salty.
0:54
And here, we got our sweet, some sugar.
0:58
And here, we've got our melted butter.
1:01
And we're gonna just press that into a 13 by 9 by 2.
1:06
This is for you, Brooke.
1:10
You can come eat some
1:12
and you won't have to make it yourself.
1:15
All right, so we're just going to stir that all together,
1:18
and then we're going to press it into our 13 by 9 by 2.
1:25
And we're gonna bake it for about seven minutes
1:28
because we want it to make a firm crust.
1:36
And if you don't bake it, it won't harden, so.
1:42
(pretzels crunching) (bowl sliding)
1:45
I could eat this with a spoon, y'all, just like this.
1:55
we would take it out.
1:56
It will have formed a hard crust.
1:59
(container slides and thuds)
2:00
All right, y'all, we are getting ready for the second step
2:02
for our strawberry pretzel salad
2:05
(hand mixer rattling)
2:06
and that wonderful crust, and I could eat with a spoon,
2:09
(hand mixer rattling)
2:10
we baked it off and you can see it's nice and firm.
2:14
(hand mixer rattling)
2:18
So, I can put the next step on top, right?
2:22
So, I've got my eight-ounce package of cream cheese,
2:25
my three-fourths of cup of sugar.
2:27
(hand mixer rattling)
2:28
And we'll go get this up.
2:29
(hand mixer rattling)
2:31
And then, we're gonna fold it
2:32
into our sweetened whipped cream.
2:37
Mm-mm. (chuckles) Yum.
2:39
(hand mixer rattling)
2:41
All right. So, I'm gonna fold this together.
2:43
You can see our whipped cream.
2:51
So, you're just gonna fold this in,
2:54
and I'll tell you what,
2:55
I may wind up having to use a mixer on it at all.
3:01
And I'll try folding it first.
3:04
And I'm just gonna hit it real quick
3:10
'cause that cream cheese was
3:18
(hand mixer rattling)
3:25
And it's not gonna hurt a thing.
3:27
(hand mixer rattling)
3:32
(hand mixer whirring)
3:43
That second step is so good, y'all.
3:57
Yeah, I recommend using a little mixer on it
4:01
so it gets incorporated real good.
4:05
Okie-doke. Got one more step, y'all.
4:14
- [Theresa] I'm gonna have to chill that
4:15
for just a little bit.
4:18
Did y'all hear what Theresa said?
4:19
We're gonna have to chill this just a little bit.
4:22
Let's finish up this pretzel,
4:25
strawberry pretzel salad, y'all.
4:28
Now, it calls for two three-ounce packages
4:30
of strawberry jello gelatin.
4:34
I'm just using one six-ounce,
4:37
so you can get it in either size,
4:40
but that's a one six-ounce box.
4:43
And now, I'm going to measure me out a couple of cups
4:53
But you might get down there and look at it.
4:55
Come see. (beaker slides)
4:58
Okay, I think I got a wee too much.
5:17
So, we're just gonna dissolve that gelatin
5:21
in that boiling water,
5:24
and we're gonna let it cool slightly.
5:27
And then, we've got our frozen strawberries
5:30
and our crushed pineapple that we're gonna add to it.
5:35
But we're gonna let that cool for just a few minutes.
5:40
All right, we've let our gelatin
5:44
dissolve into our boiling water.
5:47
And now, we're gonna add the frozen strawberries,
5:50
(frozen strawberries thudding)
5:51
and that's really gonna chill it off.
5:55
(dissolved gelatin sloshing) (spatula tapping)
6:01
And a crushed pineapple.
6:04
(crushed pineapple plops)
6:06
And that's just a little eight-ounce can,
6:09
just enough to give it a little pineappley.
6:18
And people are gonna love it for the 4th of July,
6:20
'cause it's just gonna be cold and refreshing.
6:26
So, I'm just gonna let that cool on off a minute.
6:31
And then, we just gonna pour it on top
6:33
of our cream cheese layer
6:36
that's been in the fridge already chilling.
6:39
Go and take this out.
6:46
And then go very gently,
6:51
pour this on top of our,
7:15
My kids used to tease me
7:20
when I would make gelatin salads.
7:24
"Are you making that geriatric dish, mama?" (laughs)
7:29
Yes, 'cause us old folks like it. (laughs)
7:42
Just trying to make sure my strawberries
7:44
are kinda evenly distributed all over.
7:56
And these frozen berries work great
8:10
Okay. I love the pineapple in it.
8:19
That looks pretty well-distributed, doesn't it, Eddie?
8:27
Because I don't want any smells from other food
8:31
(clean wrap crinkling)
8:34
I want to see what a pretty good.
8:37
(clean wrap crinkling) (container thuds)
8:44
And you can actually make this dish the day before
8:48
and it'll all be right ready for ya.
8:55
We'll have to make room.
8:58
We'll have to make room.
9:02
(Theresa faintly speaks)
9:05
- Perfect. Look at that.
9:07
Look at that beautiful salmon.
9:17
Isn't it delicious? - Mm-hmm.
9:19
- The sweet and the salty.
9:23
- [Theresa] And the strawberry?
9:35
- Yum. - My kids can laugh
9:37
all they want to about my geriatric (laughs) salad,
9:42
but they are delicious.
9:47
And I know that Jamie Dean loves this one
9:51
'cause his wife makes it. (laughs)
10:03
(plate clinks and slides)
10:07
Valentine's Day, 4th of July, Christmas.
10:14
So, see that's gonna cut real, real clean
10:17
once it has set long enough.
10:19
(clean wrap crinkling)
10:24
so you'll have it to eat on for several days.
10:28
So, I hope y'all have a safe and happy 4th of July
10:34
and I hope you have a bunch of good food to eat. (chuckles)
