Jello Fish Bowl

Get out that old fish bowl you've been storing, or do
like we did and buy a new one.

6 3 oz. pkgs. of blueberry jell-0
1 c. blueberries or grapes (other fruit would work, but
not be blue)
gummy fishPrepare Jell-O according to directions and chill until
partially set. Put fruit in bottom of fishbowl,
spoon partially set Jell-O over the top of it and arrange
gummy fish in the Jell-O.

NOTE: We just put fruit in bottom of the fishbowl and
pour in the mixed Jell-O as you normally
would, child fishbowl in refrigerator and add fish when
partially set. Kids like the Jello and fruit
even without the gummy fish (or we have used gummy
worms, bears, or what ever was
available). Makes a pretty center piece.

JELL-O AQUARIUM

3 packages blue gelatin

9 ounces red cinnamon candy or small speckled jelly
beans

1/2 gallon capacity new fishbowl or large, clean glass
bowl

Gummi Fish

A few small pieces of kale or purple endive, washed,
patted dry.

In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the gelatin according
to package directions, omitting the cold
water step. Instead, use cold water mixed with ice
cubes. Use about 1 cup cold water and
enough ice cubes to equal 1? cups per package. Stir
until the ice melts.

Meanwhile, make a layer of ``gravel'' by placing the
cinnamon candies or small speckled jelly
beans in the bottom of the fishbowl or glass bowl.
Slowly pour the prepared gelatin over a knife
blade to keep the liquid from disturbing the gravel.

Place in the refrigerator and chill until slightly
thickened. When slightly thickened, place kale or
purple endive into the gravel, using tongs or a wooden
skewer. Place Gummi Fish in the
thickened gelatin. Yield: 12 1/2cup servings.
