Molded Fruit Salad
By shawnanewton
This recipe is in her writing and could have been obtained during her time in China. I've done my best to replicate it through her writing but it must have been one of her favorites because of the way it is marked in the book. She (Ruth Nero Lense) may have also created this one herself. I hope it comes out okay for anyone who tries it.
