I want to amend my review... It turned out fine in the end. Still not sure what went wrong, but at this point it is more likely my fault. Will try and change/erase the stars when I figure out how.

I don't understand... I was so excited to make this and I followed the instructions to the letter. the gelatin never set up. After a couple hours I finally dumped all the fruit out, put the liquid back in the pan and tried adding more gelatin, and still never set up. If I try anything like this again I think I will just follow directions on the gelatin packet rather than the ones in this recipe.
