Gelatin Aquarium

Source of Recipe


From "The Secret Life of Food" by Clare Crespo






List of Ingredients



• 1-1/2 gallon new glass goldfish bowl
  
• 2 (6-ounce) boxes blueberry (or other blue) gelatin
  
• 1 (11-ounce) can fruit cocktail
  
• 2 gummy fish
  






Instructions



1. Prepare the gelatin according to package directions. Pour into goldfish bowl. Drain the fruit cocktail and slowly pour it into the goldfish bowl. It will sink to the bottom to act as the "gravel." Place gelatin in the refrigerator to thicken, for about an hour. Don't let it set completely.
   
   
2. Remove gelatin from the refrigerator and place the gummy fish in the gelatin, using a chopstick, knife, or the back of a spoon to push the fish toward the bottom of the goldfish bowl.
   
   
3. Return the gelatin to the refrigerator to set completely. When the gelatin has set and is ready to serve, use a spoon to scoop it, the fish and the fruit cocktail out.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 servings.
