I did this one with Blackberries.  It was really good - especially with a big dollop of Whipped Cream.

I made this with canned peaches and apricot gelatin for ScoutJam 100, and it was delicious. I'm trying it again tonight with peaches from my peach tree that have been frozen, thawed, and drained.
