festive pomegranate apple jello.

i got this recipe from a friend's blog.  i halfed this recipe and it was plenty. i have made it two times; with and without the slivered almonds. both were good just depends on your taste.

You will need:
1 6 oz. package orange jello
water
seeds of 2 pomegranates
3/4 cup of slivered almonds
2-3 large shredded apples (select a variety that's both sweet and tart like honeycrisp or pink lady.)
whipping cream (1 pint)
sugar (for the whipped cream)
vanilla (for the whipped cream)

1. Prepare your apples by peeling and grating.
2. Seed your pomegranates. (if your seeds are a little too tart you may want to toss them with a little sugar).
3. Prepare jello according to package instructions. (i.e. boil 2 cups water, pour over jello in 9x13 pan. mix till dissolved. then add 2 cups cold water to that mixture.)
4. Next add apples, pomegranate seeds and nuts to jello.
5. Let jello sit in fridge for about 5 hours.
6. Top with whipped cream. See recipe here.

enjoy!
