Jellied Fruit Salad

Jellied fruit salad was very common during the Edwardian era (which followed the Victorian era in 1910), so I thought I'd share this fun period recipe! Big thanks to Downton Abbey Cooks for this recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. gelatin unflavored

• 1/4 cup cold water

• 1 cup pineapple juice hot

• 1/4 cup sugar or sugar substitute

• 1/8 tsp. salt

• 2 large bananas sliced

• 1 large lemon juiced

• 1 large orange juiced

• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries sliced

• 1 cup pineapple diced

Instructions

• Soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.

• Add the hot pineapple juice, sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Add lemon and orange juice. Cool.

• When the jelly begins to thicken add the fruit and scoop into a mould to let set.

• If you want to create a layered salad, layer the fruit in the mould, pour the cooled jelly over, and let it set for 2 to 3 hours.

• To unmould, dip the mould into a large bowl of warm water up to the rim for a few seconds. Place your service platter on top and invert. It should come out cleanly.
