Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Give this classic creation a contemporary flavor by adding one of these: • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange segments, drained • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries • 1/2 cup white wine (add with the gelatin; decrease water to 1 1/2 cups) • 1/2 cup pistachio nuts instead of the walnuts • 1 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
  • tip 2
    Embellish this shimmering salad by: • Placing on colorful kale leaves. • Filling center of gelatin ring with mixture of 1 tub (4 ounces) fruit-flavored whipped cream cheese and 1 cup whipped topping or cherries and fresh berries or try a mixture of 1 cup whipped cream, 1/2 cup lemon yogurt and 1/2 cup sour cream. • Garnishing with candied cranberries and salad greens cut to resemble holly leaves.
