This crowd pleasing Jello Fruit Salad is packed with fruit, including apples, cranberries, bananas, strawberries and pineapple, and has a softer texture than regular rubbery Jello. It's the side dish for potlucks and parties.

JACK'S JELL-O AND FRUIT SALAD



Jack's Jell-O and Fruit Salad image

Jack could eat fruit all day long, especially berries. He is enamored with different colors and shapes, so to set them off, we love to make him these sweet, jiggly salads. We serve them at playdates with his friends Lex, Brady, and Colin (they're triplets, y'all) and make a game of digging up the fruit in the Jell-O (yup, with their hands-it's messy!).

Yield serves 6 to 8 kids

Number Of Ingredients 5

Two 6-ounce packages strawberry Jell-O
1/2 cup hulled, sliced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup halved green grapes
1/2 cup thickly sliced bananas

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the Jell-O with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the powder dissolves completely, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of cold water. Pour the mixture into a 3-quart Jell-O mold and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and bananas. Return the mold to the refrigerator and continue to chill until very firm, about 3 hours. Unmold and serve cold in bowls.
