PATRIOTIC JELLO FRUIT SALAD



Patriotic Jello Fruit Salad image

This is time-consuming because each layer has to set before the next layer can be poured in. (I prepare it one day and unmold it and serve the next.) It's well worth it for a special occasion. I do this for Memorial Day and Fourth of July. At Christmas, I substitute lime Jello for first layer with 1 1/3 cup boiling water and 8 oz. can drained crushed pineapple mixed in. This is beautiful in a star mold, but also pretty served in another shape or in a glass bowl.

  • Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will also help the fruit to absorb the gelatin mixture more evenly.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures of fruit. This will make your fruit salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include berries, melon, grapes, pineapple, and citrus fruits.
  • Sweeten the fruit salad to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or agave nectar to sweeten the fruit salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill the fruit salad before serving. This will help the gelatin to set and will also make the fruit salad more refreshing.
