The total prep time is 7 hours, which includes chilling time. You must chill each layer for at least 30 minutes before adding the next colored layer. I usually make this on a day that I'm going to be home all day and I do the layers in between doing my cleaning!

PATRIOTIC JELLO FRUIT SALAD
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit. This will ensure that your fruit salad is flavorful and juicy. If you can, buy your fruit from a local farmer's market or grocery store that sells fresh, seasonal produce.
- 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.

Patriotic gelatin fruit salad is a delicious and festive way to celebrate Independence Day or any other patriotic holiday. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences.
