Recipe: Fizzy Fruit Cranberry Gelatin

Fizzy Fruit Cranberry Gelatin

With Mother's Day almost here, this recipe reminds me of my own mom.  She loves cranberry flavored food.  My daughter, Addie, made this recipe for her Family/Consumer Science class and we enjoyed it!  This would be a delicious addition to your Mother's Day brunch this year.

 2 cups boiling water

 1 pkg. (8-serving size) JELL-O Cranberry Flavor Gelatin, or any other red flavor

 1-1/2 cups cold ginger ale

 2 cups halved green and/or red seedless grapes

 1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained

Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in ginger ale. Refrigerate 1-1/2 hours or until thickened (spoon drawn through leaves definite impression).

Add fruit; stir gently until well blended. Spoon into 6-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.


Tip 2:  Substitute

Substitute 2 pkg. (4-serving size each) cranberry gelatin for the 8-serving size pkg. of gelatin.

Tip 3:  How to Unmold Gelatin

Dip mold in warm water for about 15 sec. Gently pull gelatin from around edges with moist fingers. Place moistened serving plate on top of mold. Invert mold and plate. Holding mold and plate together, shake slightly to loosen. Gently remove mold and center gelatin on plate. 

Tip 4:  Substitute

Substitute carbonated lemon-lime beverage or cold water for the ginger ale.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
