Sparkling Berry Jello Salad

"I make this Jello often in the spring/summer. It looks really nice in a mold and sets up great. The fresh berries in the center of the mold makes a beautiful presentation."

  • Unmold and top with remaining 1 cup of berries in center.

  1. This salad was amazing! Easy to make and very good. Everyone loves it. I have made it several times now and there is never any leftovers. I finally bought some creme de cassis and that makes it even better!
     
  2. My favorite jello salad! I've made it several times. It's refreshing and delicious! I like to serve it as a part of the main course (often for holidays), but it also, of course, works great as a dessert. Thank you so much for posting, Roxy.
     
  3. My grandchildren raved on this recipe!
     
  4. Yum! This was spectacular! I didn't have a jello mold, so I just used a bundt pan and that worked really nicely too. It made for a lovely presentation with the berries in the middle (I used the raspberry jello and blueberries and strawberries inside the jello and then I put blackberries in the center) and it tasted even better than it looked. Thanks for the great recipe!
     
  5. This jello has a lot of zing! I really liked the club soda in this. I will make this often using different berries, the kids loved it. I never would have thought of used the soda in place of the water....great idea. thank you for sharing this with us.

  1. Yum. I made so many changes, I'm not sure I should rate this recipe! But I stuck true to the basic premise. I used peach no-sugar jello with water instead of juice, then added lemon-lime soda. For the fruit I used peaches and fresh blackberries. It was delicious and my kids gobbled it up.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi everybody, I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
