Tracy's Territory: Summer Jell-O Salad

Happy Friday!

With this warm weather, consider something to cool you down for a treat. Pick up any flavored gelatin that suits your taste buds. Fix according to the box recipe except replace one cup of cold water with the juice from your favorite canned fruit. (I used Berry Blue Jell-O and fresh raspberries, but the juice from the canned fruit gives it a burst of flavor.)

Let it set for about two hours and in the meantime, thaw out about 8 ounces of cream cheese. Beat the cream cheese until it is smooth. Add the cream cheese and about 1/2 container of Cool Whip to the gelatin, using your mixer to combine. At the end add the fruit and place back into the refrigerator for about two hours to complete the setting process.

Serve for dessert or alongside your dinner as a nice refreshing salad!

Until next week!
