FRUIT
JELLO
| To "real
cooks" this recipe will seem simplistic. To those of us who
are lucky enough to have another household member who does "all"
the cooking, this will be a simple dish to master. It's a good dessert,
and a fairly healthful snack food. Some calories, but not too many. |

|
| Put two LARGE packages
of Jello into a bowl. We want to make a thick dessert which will
not become watery from the juice of the fruits we will add. |
|
Add 4 cups of BOILING
water. Do not add the additional 2 cups called for on the box.
Mix well, and chill in the refrigerator until solid.
|
| With a sharp knife, score
the hardened Jello into the thinnest possible slices. If you have
a serrated knife, that will add to the attractiveness of the finished
dessert.

 |
 |
|
Now score the Jello in
the opposite directions, again, making the thinnest cuts you can.
You will now have columns of jello. |
| Stir the jello with
the knife so that you continue to cut it into smaller and smaller
pieces. Scrape the edge of the bowl as you go. |
|
 |
 |
|
Next cut up strawberries,
and/or any fruits you enjoy, such as bananas, peaches, oranges,
etc. |
| Stir the fruit gently
into the mix. |

 |
|
Now add the "secret
ingredients" which are dried fruits of any kind: dates, cranberries,
cherries, etc. BJ's Warehouse house brand Berkely
& Jenson has bulk packages which are relatively
inexpensive. |
 |
|
 |
Stir the dry fruits
into the mix. You can add other fresh fruit like grapes.
Serve, and enjoy...
