I make this Jello often in the spring/summer. It looks really nice in a mold and sets up great. The fresh berries in the center of the mold makes a beautiful presentation. Ingredients:
2 cups cranberry juice cocktail (or cran-raspberry is good) |
1 (6 ounce) package red jell-o (black cherry or raspberry is what i love) |
1 1/2 cups club soda |
1/4 cup creme de cassis (i've never used but someday....) (optional) |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
3 cups assorted blueberries or 3 cups raspberries or 3 cups sliced strawberries |
Directions:
1. Stir boiling cranberry juice (heat in pan) into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes (until well dissolved).
2. Stir in club soda, liqueur, and lemon juice.
3. Refrigerate about 1-1/2 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites-I set my bowl inside a larger bowl of ice water and it takes about 20 minutes).
4. Stir in 2 cups of the berries.
5. Spoon into 5-cup mold.
6. Refrigerate about 4 hours or until firm.
7. Unmold and top with remaining 1 cup of berries in center.
