Production Notes

-Alternative preparation idea: Pour enough fruit into a full-sized steamtable to credit for twenty-five ½-cup portions of fruit. Prepare the gelatin mixture using the reserved fruit juice and water. Then pour the gelatin mixture over the fruit. Place the steamtable pans in the refrigerator to congeal the gelatin. Cut fruited gelatin 5 x 5. Serve 1 square of fruited gelatin per serving. Each serving provides ½ cup fruit.
-Any flavor of gelatin may be used.
-Use USDA Foods products when available.
