JELL-O AQUARIUM
Recipe by Clare Crespo

Ingredients

1 half-gallon glass fish bowl
2 6-oz. boxes Berry Blue Jell-O gelatin
1 can (11-oz.) fruit cocktail
2 gummy fish (or plastic fish)
1 plastic aquarium plant (optional)

What To Do

1. Make the Jell-O gelatin according to directions on the box. Pour into goldfish bowl.

2. Drain the fruit cocktail and slowly pour it into the goldfish bowl. It will sink to the bottom to act as the "gravel."

3. Place gelatin in the refrigerator to thicken for about one hour. Don't let it set completely.

4. Remove from the refrigerator and place the gummy (or plastic) fish in the Jell-O gelatin, using a chopstick, knife, or the back of a spoon to push the fish toward the bottom of the goldfish bowl.

5. Return the gelatin to the refrigerator to set completely.

6. When the gelatin has set and is ready to serve, use a spoon to scoop it and the fish out. If you are using plastic fish, be sure to set them aside.
