Leave a reply

1 package (3 oz.) cherry-flavored gelatin
Water

Meanwhile, chill the remaining gelatin and fold in 1/4 cup each of the sliced banana and chopped cherries. Turn mixture into the mold; chill until firm. Place bowl of the remaining slightly thickened gelatin over a bowl of ice cubes and water; whip with a rotary beater until beater leaves tracks in the whipped mixture. Fold in remaining cherries and bananas; turn into the mold on top of other two gelatin layers. Chill until firm.

Unmold the gelatin onto a serving plate. Garnish, if desired, with tiny clusters of seedless grapes and additional sliced bananas and whole cherries. Makes about 6 servings.
