Sister had a themed dinner, where we'd bring a dish that was popular in our birth years. For 1952, I found this one, and it's magnificent. The original recipe used lemon Jell-O, but I couldn't find any, much less sugar-free, so I used lime and it was very Christmasy looking. It's a keeper, and we'll be serving it often.

SANGRIA GELATIN RING


1-1/2 cups Sangria or sweet white wine
2 packages (.3 ounces each) lime, raspberry or cherry (or mixed flavors) sugar-free gelatin
2 cups club soda, chilled
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup green grapes, halved

Bring wine to a full boil.

In a large heatproof bowl, add boiling wine to gelatin; stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve. Stir in chilled club soda.

Refrigerate until thickened but not firm, about 45 minutes. Stir in berries and grapes.

Pour into a 6-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

Unmold onto a serving platter. If desired, place more berries in the center of the ring.

Makes 10 servings.
