Recipe by Joan Clarke Notes: This can be served right away, but Neil likes it to chill for an additional couple of hours after the custard and whipped cream is added. Neil's Mom uses red jello, fruit cocktail, and fresh whipped cream. 06/07/96 Made it using a 3-oz pk of Berry Blue Jello and a 3-oz pk of Raspberry Jello, fresh strawberries and frozen raspberries, leaving some fruit for garnish. Notes from the Chef: "Here's a dessert that is sitting in the fridge, waiting to be taken to my parents' house this afternoon. I got the recipe verbally from Neil's Mom. I filled in the quantities later on in the recipe since it was kind of vague. It looks good, although I think I overdid the fruit. I had already used about 4 cups in there, when Neil told me that his mother usually just uses a can of fruit cocktail, which is more like 2 cups." --Lisa From: Lisa Date: 06-08-96 (15:07) The Polka Dot Cottage, a BBS with a taste of home. 1-201-822-3627.
