A layered jello creation!!!!
And then I saw a little man eyeing my jello creation!!! (Can you blame him though? It does look wonderful...)
Okay for the first recipe we post I picked one that both looks and tastes wonderful and can be used for any special occasion. I found this in a 1982 Kraft cookbook and I continue to make it today. The wine is my first choice and in the original recipe but if children are eating I make it with juice. This layered fruit salad looks so pretty in a fancy glass bowl garnished with a curly endive lettuce leaf.
Happy Holidays to all of you !
