BLUEBERRY GELATIN SALAD
This is a delicious salad or dessert that requires little effort but looks and tastes heavenly. I used raspberry gelatin in place of cherry because it's what I had. I also threw in some raspberries with the blueberries. Don't make your cream cheese mixture too soon or you'll sample a little too much before the jello is ready...cooks beware! I used frozen fruit, but I'd love to try it when fresh fruit is in season. I found the recipe in Taste of Home Parties, Potlucks, and Barbecues from Mildred Livingston in Phoenix, Arizona. Cook time excludes chilling time.

BLUEBERRY GELATIN SALAD
This is a recipe I discovered about 25 years ago when grape gelatin was hard to find! It's a terrific side dish or a delicious dessert. It's very rich in flavor and can be made ahead of time. Also good with cherry gelatin and cherry pie filling.
