Shimmering Tropical Fruit
(Makes 6-8 servings)

1 can (15 1/4 ounce) tropical fruit salad
1 package (4 serving size) lemon or peach gelatin
8 sprigs parsley, optional

Place strainer inside a mixing bowl.  Pour tropical fruit salad
into strainer; drain juice.  Pour drained juice into a measuring
cup.  Add enough water to juice, making a total of 1 3/4 cups of 
liquid.  Heat liquid in a saucepan over medium high heat.  When 
it boils, turn the heat off and carefully move pan to a heat proof
surface.  Add gelatin and stir until dissolved.  Chill gelatin in
refrigerator until it slightly thickens, about 45 minutes.  Stir 
in fruit and pour gelatin into either the mold or cups.  Put into
refrigerator and chill until firm, about 2 1/4 hours.  To unmold,
fill sink 3/4 full with warm water.  Quickly dip mold into water
(or remove muffin cup liners).  Turn the mold over onto a platter
and let the salad slip out.  Decorate with parsley.
