when making jello molds you need to cut the water down to 3/4 cup of hot and cold . I don't like mint so i didn't add it. but the melons were need. want to try with strawberry jello and lime jello. cool on a hot day

I made this for a family get-together and everyone loved it. I let the jell-o set longer in the fridge and let it set longer than required. When I served it is was set well. I made two different recipes of this. One I used strawberries and strawberry jell-o and it turned out well, I also added a dollap of Cool Whip.

Let the jello set in the refrigerater for more than 30 minutes - leave it in there more like 45-50 minutes. When I made this - the jello didn't "set up" and the melon (of course) has water in it - the jello ended up like water.....very mushy. Will try it again.

A fancy, yet elegant dessert to finish a wonderful meal. The mint leaves added a lot of colour and class, too. I used sugar-free jello to cut down on a few calories!
