Apricot Gelatin Mold
My mother always made this for celebrations. When my husband and I were dating, he fell in love with this dish. Once we got married, he asked me to get the recipe from her. You can substitute peach or orange gelatin for a fresh summer treat. —Suzanne Holcomb, St. Johnsville, New York12 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min. + chilling
