How to Add Fruit to Jello

Adding fruit to Jello can be a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy this classic dessert. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Choose your fruit: You can use fresh or canned fruit for this recipe. Some popular options include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and cherries.

2. Prepare the Jello: Follow the instructions on the Jello package to make the Jello. You will need boiling water and cold water. Once the Jello has dissolved in the boiling water, add the cold water and stir.

3. Add the fruit: You can add the fruit in one of two ways. You can either add it to the Jello mixture before it sets or you can wait until the Jello has partially set and then add the fruit. If you add the fruit before the Jello sets, it will be dispersed throughout the mixture. If you add the fruit after the Jello has partially set, it will be suspended in the Jello and create a more layered effect.

4. Chill the Jello: Once you've added the fruit, pour the Jello mixture into a bowl or individual cups and refrigerate until it's fully set. This can take several hours, so be patient.

5. Serve and enjoy: Once the Jello has set, you can serve it as is or with whipped cream on top. Enjoy your delicious and refreshing fruit-filled Jello!
