"Growing up my Aunt Betty made this for us for the holidays, and it was always a SPECIAL addition to our dinner! It also makes a beautiful presentation on your holiday table. We ate it right along with our dinner, but you can also serve it as an after meal fruit dessert with a dollop of whip cream. No matter which way you eat it, Enjoy every bite.. It's delicious!"
Drain the canned fruit. Use up to 2 cups of it for 2 cups of the liquid in the jello.
Make up the jello using 2 cups of boiling water, and 2 cups of juice from the canned fruit, mixing well.
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.
Stir in the drained fruit and nuts, and refrigerate until set.
When ready to serve, tip bottom of mold into hot water for a few seconds. This will help to release mold onto serving plate.
When ready to serve, place serving plate on top of mold and invert. Serve.
