Tips for Making Layered Fruit in Jello
The most important thing to remember about making any kind of layered jello recipe is to let the layers set. This does not mean give it half an hour in the refrigerator and then throw the next layer on top. Make sure the jello is firmly set, so the new layer does not seep into it. Layered jello is beautiful but if you are careless you will have rather a messy looking dessert!
Which Fruits to Use
You can use contrasting fruits or matching ones. Cherries in cherry jello taste good but so do peach slices in pineapple jello or banana slices in lime jello. You can experiment with different fruit and jello combinations or use seasonal fruit. Maybe you want to make a strawberry jello fruit mold recipe as a tasty summertime dessert. Making fruit jello salad recipes is also a good way to use up any fruit past its prime because it will be chopped into small pieces and enclosed in the jello.
