How to Make Aunt Betty's Fruit Salad
- Drain one (20 ounce) can of fruit cocktail, reserving the juice. Set aside the drained fruit.
- Measure 2 cups of the reserved fruit juice.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of boiling water and the 2 cups of reserved fruit juice.
- Add one (3 ounce) package of Jello (any flavor – cherry, strawberry, or even lime work great!), and stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour the jello mixture into a 9x13 inch mold or a large bowl.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the jello is partially set (but still slightly jiggly).
- Gently stir in the drained fruit cocktail and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
- Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours, or until the jello is completely set.
- To unmold, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds.
- Place a serving plate on top of the mold and carefully invert to release the jello.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
