TIP: If you like it more fruity, use less cool whip. If you like it more creamy, use more cool whip. Also, you can "holiday" it up or customize it just by changing flavors. For Christmas, use green jello and add cherries. For Halloween, use orange jello and add mandarin oranges, etc.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 cups fresh or premade fruit juice (aside from mango, papaya, and pineapple, any kind -- pulpy or not -- will work)
2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup juice in a glass bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin. Meanwhile, bring remaining 3 cups juice to a boil. Pour boiling juice over gelatin-juice mixture, and stir until gelatin dissolves completely. Pour into 5-ounce juice glasses, which make great single servings. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe fruit: This will ensure that your gelatin salad is packed with flavor.
  • Use a variety of fruits: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your salad.
  • Don't overcook the gelatin: Overcooked gelatin will be tough and rubbery. Follow the package directions carefully.
  • Chill the gelatin salad for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow it to set properly.
  • Serve the gelatin salad with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the salad.

Conclusion:

Fruited gelatin salad is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its refreshing flavor and beautiful presentation, it's the perfect dish to serve at your next party or potluck.
