Default a jello fruit salad

once in a while we like a mix of orange jello,
canned apricots (blended up), cream cheese and
then fold in some canned mandarin oranges and
let it set up.

once a year is plenty. i may have some
for breakfast...

together. Thanks

He might like almond float. I sure do. Use oranges instead of the fruit cocktail. It's better that way.

one package (3oz) of orange jello, 2 cans of canned apricots,
one package of cream cheese, 1 can of mandarin oranges (i'm
sure you could use more if you wanted).

we make a double batch...

drain the apricots reserving one cup of liquid. use this
for making the jello. so bring it to a boil and add the jello
and then mix it well and let it cool off for a bit.

i use my hand mixer to blend up the apricots and then put in
the cream cheese and blend that in too. add the orange jello
and mix that in and then at the end fold in the oranges.

let that set up. all done.

i'm sure for presentation you could make some different layers
or leave more chunks in of the apricots, but we just put it
all together.

in a pinch we've used peaches instead of apricots, but
do prefer apricots instead.

i did have some for breakfast, it is pretty strong
so i had some cottage cheese along with it to tone it
down a bit...

today is packaged food day as we're making smoky links
and crescent rolls too. for extra filler i made up a pot
of red beans the other day.
