Almond Jello

Dotty2's Note:

This is the most delightful Dessert, very light and so refreshing. I got this recipe from a girl I worked with who brought it to a potluck, (made by her mother).We all had to wait for some time to get the recipe since her mother had to translate the recipe from Chinese to English. It was well worth the wait.

This is a very nice cool refreshing dessert, the almond with the peaches and pears were really good, next time I am going to try with mandarin oranges. Made half the recipe, and I just dice up a bit of the jello and then add my fruit with juice in each bowl as needed. Nice will make again.

I love this recipe! I used to order this as a dessert at my favorite chinese restaurant. This is a very nice version, prounounced almond flavor but so light and smooth.
