Ingredients

• 1 cup boiling water
• ¾ cup cold water
• ¼ cup white sugar, or to taste
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O® mix
• 2 oranges - peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 lemon - peeled, seeded and chopped
• 3 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped
• 2 cups cranberries, coarsely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gelatin mix and boiling water until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the cold water. Transfer to a gelatin mold, or keep in a bowl; cover and refrigerate.

Step 2

Place the oranges, lemon, apples, and cranberries into a bowl. Sprinkle the sugar over the top. Set aside so the fruit has time to bleed.

Step 3

When the gelatin is partially set, stir in the fruit. Chill until set, preferably overnight. It becomes tastier with age!
