How I get my family to eat fruit

This is a recipe that I love and it's fairly simple. My family loves it and they just gooble up all there fruit servings this way so I thought I would share.

2 - Graham Cracker crusts (can be made or store bought)
1 - package Jello (strawberry, raspberry, we even tried peach once and it was so yummy, so try whatever you like :)
1 - package Vanilla Pudding
1 C. Milk
1 C boiling water
Fruit

If you are using frozen fruit go ahead and get it out. Fresh fruit can be cut up to the desired peices.

Mix the jello with water and let it sit while you mix the pudding with milk, giving the jello time to cool (both are using half of the liquid the package calls for). Place the fruit in the two crusts and pour the jello/pudding over the fruit. Refrigerate for at least four hours (I usually do over night).

For the fruit anything goes! We like different berries with bannana's the best. Peachs, apples, blueberries, strawberries, ect. whatever you want exepct kiwi, pineapple, papay, or guave. Using them the jello will not set. Fresh is good if it is in season, if not frozen works great, too!

Bannanas and apples are great with this recipe becuase when you cover them with the jello/pudding they don't turn very brown.

Hope you enjoy it if you decide to make it. Sorry if I didn't do very good, I haven't ever written a recipe for anyone else before, normally it's a pinch of this and a dab of that. Sorry I don't know how much fruit to use for sure! It will be enough for two pies though.

I agree... sounds really good. I'll have to try it too.

What size package of jello & pudding? Sounds good.

I use the small pudding/jello packages. 3.5 oz for pudding and .44 for Jello. I think the recipe acutally calls for the large though but I add a lot of fruit

Sorry I don't acutally know for sure

so you use BOTH jello and pudding mix? does it make it taste like strawberry pudding, for example?

Yeah, I though it sounded really weird when I first heard about it but it's acutally pretty good. It does kind of taste like strawberry (or whatever) pudding with a hint of vanilla. The texture isn't exactly like pudding either, it is a little bit firmer.
