Step by Step Method
Step 1
Drain the canned fruit. Use up to 2 cups of it for 2 cups of the liquid in the jello.
Step 2
Make up the jello using 2 cups of boiling water, and 2 cups of juice from the canned fruit, mixing well.
Step 3
Put into the mold or use a plastic mixing bowl (with cover) as a mold. Refrigerate for about 1 1/2 hours, or until jello is partially set.
Step 4
Stir in the drained fruit and nuts, and refrigerate until set.
Step 5
When ready to serve, tip bottom of mold into hot water for a few seconds. This will help to release mold onto serving plate.
