Tips:

Choose Fresh Fruits: Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have brown spots.
Chill Ingredients: Chill the Jell-O, sour cream, and fruits before assembling the salad. This will help the salad set properly and keep it cold and refreshing.
Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan is the best option for making this salad. It allows you to easily remove the salad from the pan once it has set.
Patience is Key: Allow the salad to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will give the Jell-O time to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the salad with additional fruits, nuts, or whipped cream. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
