Made this for a communion party and it was just awesome. Looks pretty and tastes incredibly yummy. I used a 12 ounce bag of frozen unsweetened raspberries and a 13 ounce purchased angel food cake. I assembled about 14 hours before the party and the flavors all blended together beautifully. This makes a lot and is great for big gatherings. I am definitely going to making this a lot for family parties! Thanks, Leta!

Nice "ground" recipe, just before the jelly set, I added a tin of "fruit salad", cubes of angel cake, and a generous layer of fine sherry - I left this overnight.. I then layered with confectioners custard, topping off with fresh whipped cream, shavings of chocolate and strawberries.
