Day One: Peach-Berry Fruit Mold (I flipped the cookbook open)


Total Cost for Prepared Recipe: $4.85


Peach-Berry Fruit Mold p.425 Betty Crocker's Big Red Cookbook, 2001

1 c. boiling water

1 pkg. (4-serving size) peach-flavored gelatin

1 c. cold water

1 c. raspberries

1/2 c. blueberries

1 medium peach, peeled and coarsely chopped

Leaf lettuce, if desired.


1. Pour boiling water on gelatin in medium bowl: stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until slightly thickened.


2. Spray 1-quart mold with cooking spray. Stir raspberries, blueberries and peach into gelatin. Spoon into mold. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.


3. Unmold gelatin onto lettuce leaves on serving plate.


I went to Walmart to find a mold, but no luck. So, I am making this in a glass bowl. I'm using frozen fruit (no sugar added) in place of fresh - it's hard to find a fresh peach in a blizzard in Nebraska. However, next time, I will use fresh raspberries because they are now kinda mushy. I also doubled the recipe. According to my calculations, each serving (serves eight) contains 113 calories. Of course, replacing the regular gelatin with sugar-free gelatin would reduce the calories even more.
