Thanks Crafty Bear, you are just an asset to this website, we appreciate all the time you donate to helping us out and providing good reading. I prepare this same recipe, but I use strawberries and strawberry junket jello. Strawberries are on sale more often than raspberries in our area. I get many compliments on this recipe, it's a winner. I top it off with whipped cream to, decant!!! Another advantage, when entertaining, one can make it two days ahead of time. I have found the the jello bleeds onto the cream mixture after the third day...if you can keep this dessert that long. I dare you to try.
