Used to have this thanks to nan every year but never remembered to pen it down. Buzzing that I’ve found something that comes quite close!
1 cup cold water
1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained (or use fresh peaches if available)
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 banana, sliced (optional)
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
Dissolve the Gelatin: In a large bowl, add the peach-flavored gelatin. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add Cold Water: Stir in 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture. Mix well.
Chill: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the gelatin is slightly thickened but not fully set. It should have the consistency of a thick syrup.
Add Fruits: Remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Gently fold in the sliced peaches, raspberries, and banana slices (if using). Stir carefully to distribute the fruit evenly.

Serve: Once set, serve the peach melba fruit salad chilled. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra delightful touch.
Variations & Tips
– Feel free to swap in or add other fruits you enjoy, such as raspberries or strawberries, to play with different flavors and textures.
– To unmold with ease if using individual molds, briefly dip the bottom of the molds in warm water before inverting onto a serving plate.
– Get creative with garnishes—mint leaves, extra fresh berries, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts can add a delightful finish.
– Remember: if you or your guests have nut allergies, simply omit the almonds to ensure the salad is allergen-friendly.
