Cool Fruit Salad
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. Made with pure juice, not packages jello mixes
2 cups of your favorite juice
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups fruit, chopped finely (not fresh pineapple)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon juice
In a glass measuring cup, place the gelatin and 1/2 cup of juice. Allow to stand 2 minutes to soften gelatin. Add remaining juice and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir to dissolve the gelatin, making sure that all of the particles are dissolved, microwaving at least 1 minute more. Pour into a bowl or a mold. Chill about 15-20 minutes, and then add the fruit and lemon juice. Chill several hours to firm up, and then unmold onto a serving platter. Garnish with sour cream, creme fraiche, or other soft cheese, such as Brie or St. Andre.
