Tips:

  • Use ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your gelatin mold will be.
  • Choose a variety of colors: Using a variety of colors of fruit will make your gelatin mold more visually appealing.
  • Cut the fruit into uniform pieces: This will help the fruit to distribute evenly throughout the gelatin mold.
  • Dissolve the gelatin completely: Make sure to dissolve the gelatin completely in hot water before adding it to the fruit mixture. Otherwise, you may end up with lumps of gelatin in your mold.
  • Chill the gelatin mold thoroughly: Before serving, chill the gelatin mold thoroughly until it is firm. This will help the mold to hold its shape.
