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...
