1 Can pineapple chunks
2 Cans peach halves
3 c Pears; sliced
9 oz Watermelon or tropical fruit gelatin (3 pkg)
3 c Rose wine
6 lg Bananas; sliced in 1-1/2" chunks
2 c Mandarin oranges
3 c Seedless green grapes
1/2 c Heavy cream; whipped
Slivered almonds; toasted
Drain pineapple, peaches, and pears, reserve 1 cup of juice from
each. Heat 3 cups juice to boiling and pour over gelatin, stirring to
dissolve. Stir in rose wine; refrigerate until cooled, not
thick--about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a deep glass bowl (at least
4-1/2 qt), layer fruit in this order: peaches, bananas, 2 cups
grapes, pineapple, pears, oranges, and remaining grapes. Pour chilled
gelatin over fruit. Refrigerate until firm at least 4 hours.
To Serve:
Decorate with rosettes of whipped creme and garnish with slivered
almonds.
