Notes
Fruit Substitutes: you'll need 3 cups total. Swap any of the recipe fruit for halved grapes, peeled and sliced peaches or nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple, and all the rest. Mix and match your favorites.
Also, you can substitute 2 - 3 oz. boxes of gelatin instead of 1 - 6 oz. box. This way you can use 2 different flavors, like strawberry/lime.
