Reducing a recipe

[jiminyC_fan]

Hello everyone, after googling and finding nothing to help me I was wondering if anyone knows of a web site that I can go to for reducing a recipe. This is a strawberry fluff that serves 80. I would never be able to use up all that.:rotfl2: Anyway, normally it is easy but this recipe calls for only one 3oz pkg of strawberry jello. How in the world could you reduce that down to a normal amt? I could probably get the recipe down by a fourth but still that is way too much. Ideas anyone? Thanks!

I will type the ingredients in case someone here is brainy.

1 pkg 3oz strawberry jello
2 cartons (13 1/2 oz each) strawberry glaze
2 qts buttermilk
4 pks 5.1 oz each instant vanilla pudding mix
4 cartons 16oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 qts fresh strawberries, sliced.

I hope that the reductions I posted work. You will have to post the directions for the recipe. Post if the reduced recipe worked, too. :goodvibes

I just went to type the rest of the info when I realized that I left the magazine at my DD for her to go through. I haven't forgotten though.

Sorry I couldn't post this sooner. But here it is as promised:

Strawberry Fluff

2 cartons (13 1/2 ounces each) strawberry glaze
2 qts buttermilk
4 pkgs (5.1 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
4 cartons (16 ozs each) frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 qts fresh strawberries, sliced

In a small bowl, combine gelatin and glaze, set aside. In 2 large bowls, whisk buttermilk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Stir in glaze mixture, fold in whipped topping and strawberries. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Garnish with additional strawberries if desired.
Yield: 80 servings.

Looks yummy!! Cool and refreshing on these hot humid summer days.

Were you able to reduce it? Did the amounts work?

No chance to make it yet. Life has been pretty hectic. Have a 4 year old grandson with seizures. Still plan to make it though.
