Southern Tea Gelee Fruit Salad

2 packets Knox Gelatin

½ cup cold water

3 cups hot tea

Sugar to taste

1-1/2 cups sliced peaches

1 cup blackberries

4 strawberries, sliced

  1. Brew tea and sweeten to taste. Chill 1/2 cup of tea. Soften the gelatin in the cooled tea then add the remainder of the warm tea and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  2. Prepare a loaf pan with a thin coat of vegetable oil. Pour a thin layer of tea into the bottom of the loaf pan and freeze until set, about 10 minutes.
  3. Arrange the fruit in the loaf pan, add the remaining gelatin/tea mixture, and chill until firm, at least 12 hours.
