Here's a quick, airy dessert so versatile, you can whip it up for almost any season or holiday-just by varying the colors of gelatin you use, says Joyce Thompson of Bellingham, Washington. We filled this seasonal parfait with all the colors of the falling leaves. Pretty presentation for an autumn party!

Gelatin ParfaitsHere's a fun twist on layered gelatin served in parfait glasses: Pour the first layer into the glasses, then tilt the glasses in the refrigerator while the gelatin sets. To do this, carefully lean the glasses against the side of the fridge and support the bases with a rolled towel. Once the first layer is firm, add the next layer and stand the glasses upright while it sets. This is an easy way to make your parfaits look impressive. —Mrs. Saburo Aburano, Ann Arbor, Michigan

What would happen if you poured the gelatin into "Ice Cube" trays? Depending on the size of the trays you would be able to eliminate the cutting of the cubes and they would all be the same size. I plan on trying this recipe using the "Ice Cube" trays .Cheryl
