Recipe Booklet, "New Jell-O Recipes Made with the New Flavor Lime," 1930

01

Artifact Overview

When Jell-O was first introduced in 1897, it was sold in four flavors: Strawberry, Raspberry, Orange, and Lemon. Over the next decade, the flavors of Cherry, Chocolate, and Peach were introduced with Lime Jell-O debuting in 1930. Recipe booklets, like this one, proved to be an invaluable marketing strategy, providing homemakers with creative uses for the ready-made product.
