Royal Fruit Compote

To mouldfruits in Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatin, drain fruit well before moulding. Add to cold gelatin mixture, turn into mould and chill. Stir occasionally while gelatin is stiffening to prevent the fruit from settling—or chill Royal Fruit Flavored Gelatin mixture only until it begins to thicken, then mix in the fruit; turn into mould and chill. To mould fruit in design use cold liquid Royal Gelatin. Set mould to be decorated in pan of cracked ice or cold water. Pour in enough Gelatin mixture to form a thin coating on bottom and on sides of mould. To coat sides, tip the mould slowly to allow jelly to set. When firm, arrange fruit in desired position, add carefully, more cold Royal Gelatin a little at a time to cover fruit; chill; when firm add more fruit, then more gelatin and chill. Continue until mould is filled.
