Fruit and meat are served together in lots of recipes and the texture of the jello is a wonderful contrast with the jello texture. Also, the fruity flavors bring out the natural sweetness of the meat and contrast with its saltiness. Try this tasty jello mold with apricot and orange - you will not be disappointed.
