FRUIT DESSERT ELEGANT 
1 (3 oz.) pkg. Jello, strawberry-banana or raspberry
1 tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. boiling water
1 (10 oz.) pkg. red raspberries, thawed
1 (8 3/4 oz.) crushed pineapple
1 c. sour cream
2 med. bananas, sliced
1 c. miniature marshmallows
1/2 to 1 c. chopped walnuts

Dissolve Jello, sugar and salt in boiling water. Drain raspberries and pineapple, reserve 3/4 cup of combined syrup. Add measured syrups to gelatin. Chill until very thick. Then whip until fluffy and about double in volume. (To shorten the chilling and beating times, chill the gelatin until slightly thickened. Then place the bowl of gelatin in another bowl of ice and water before starting to beat.)

Beat sour cream until smooth, fold into gelatin mixture. Then stir in fruits, marshmallows, and walnuts. Chill 15 minutes and then stir and spoon into a 2- quart mold or bowl. Chill until firm. Unmold and spoon into dessert dishes before serving. Makes about 7 cups or 8-10 servings.

NOTE: This delicious dessert is so rich and full of fruit that it has a rather soft set. Therefore, a shallow mold is most satisfactory.
