WHITE GELATIN SALAD WITH FRUIT TOPPING
This is a very versatile salad that can be used in a jello mold, put into a springform pan with a graham cracker crust, served in a 9X13" pan or used to fill individual ramekins. My mother has made this recipe for nearly every holiday dinner at the request (more like demand) of my daughter! The fruit topping is just a canned fruit filling that would typically be used as pie filling. Any flavor will work well. Cooking time is chiilling time to ensure a good set. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Wash and cut your fruit, and measure out your other ingredients before you start assembling your salad. This will help you save time and ensure that your salad is evenly mixed.
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: The fresher your fruit is, the better your salad will taste. If your fruit is not ripe, it will be tart and not as sweet.
- Don't overmix the salad: Once you've combined all of your ingredients, gently stir the salad until everything is evenly mixed. Overmixing can cause the fruit to break down and make the salad mushy.
- Chill the salad before serving: Gelatin salad is best served chilled. This will help the gelatin to set and give the salad a refreshing taste.
- Garnish the salad before serving: Add a few fresh berries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts to your salad before serving. This will make your salad look more appealing and taste even better.
