Helpful hints
- For a change in flavor, you could use blackberry flavored gelatin instead of blueberry; raspberry flavored gelatin instead of strawberry; and frozen raspberries instead of strawberries.
- Pecans and other nuts are high in phosphorus and potassium. Each serving of this dessert contains 4 pecan halves, and remains low in phosphorus and potassium when consumed in the suggested portion. You could reduce the pecans to 1/2 cup or even omit from the recipe for a very low phosphorus, low potassium dessert. For a lower sugar version use sugar-free gelatin and sugar substitute instead of sugar.

What's everyone saying?
I've made this dessert the past two weekends and never have any left. I changed the jello flavors and used sugar free. I used frozen raspberries the first time I made it and this time I used the frozen mixed fruit. delicious either way.
Made for holiday weekend, and it was AWESOME! Set up perfectly, held it's shape, even sent the next few days (leftovers)! Tasted good and refreshing for a summer holiday picnic. Even sent some home with the neighbords 'cause they loved it so much!
Does anyone know how to get this recipe to set up?? I've tried it twice and with the 2nd time I even did it the day before so I would have time for everything to set up......and while it was in the fridge that night it looked like it had all set perfectly but when we took it out of the fridge the next day ....it had become soup.....i would really love to try it if it would only set up correctly
Made for Tasting Days in the unit. Didn't set up, so we served in bowl. Would be pretty if it set.
