Triple Layer Jello Fruit Salad
This delicious jello with fruit recipe is great looking and it tastes delicious. Combining apricot, strawberry, and lemon jello with peaches, strawberries and blueberries mean that this is an extra fruity jello fruit salad. It is great served as it is or with some whipped cream or Cool Whip on top. This is not a difficult recipe but you do have to wait for each jello layer to set before adding the next one. It is important to make sure every jello layer is set before you pour on the next one, to keep them separate.
Fresh fruit is nice to use in this recipe. You can even use fresh peaches if they are soft enough. If you are using frozen berries, you might need to add a bit less cold water to the jello, because frozen fruit holds a lot of water. Add it frozen though - it will speed up the jello setting time.
If you use sugar free jello to make it, this jello fruit salad will be very low in calories and fat. If you like making healthy jello recipes, this is an excellent one to choose, and you can serve it with some yogurt on top if you want to.

Creative Jello Fruit Salad Recipe Ideas

Fruit Jello Flavors
Jello comes in a lot of flavors and you can choose from regular jello gelatin or the sugar free type if you want to make something like a triple layer jello fruit salad. You can add almost any fruit to the jello before it sets. Obviously, it is important to let one layer of the jello set completely before you make the next layer and pour it over the top, else the colors will merge into one another.
You can use festive colors for special occasions. Maybe a layer of lime jello sandwiched between layers of strawberry and raspberry jello would make a good Christmas jello mold recipe. You can either choose your favorite jello colors or your favorite fruity flavors. To intensify the fruit jello flavor, you can make the jello up with half water and half fruit juice, rather than just using water. If you are using orange jello, for example, use a cup of boiling water, then stir in a cup of chilled orange juice. The end result will be a richer orange taste.
