Notes

  • The measurements in this recipe are based on the gelatin brand I used. If using Knox or other brands, please read the package directions and adjust the amounts accordingly.
  • The brand I used was unflavored and already sweetened. If using an unsweetened brand, add about ¾ cups of sugar or to taste. Please note that the fruit cocktail is also packed in syrup and will contribute to the overall sweetness of the dessert.
  • For a smooth texture, dissolve the gelatin well. Simmer, and do not bring the milk mixture to a boil as it might curdle or separate.
