This is a dessert with a perfect blend of salty and sweet. It's a welcomed change from the super sweet and rich desserts. Usually we make this with strawberries, but the raspberries we picked were substituted here. This year it served as Sean's birthday cake.Prep time: 20 minutes

1/2 cup sugar
1 small container whipped cream ($1.00)
2 small packages raspberry jello ($1.00)

I forgot about this wonderful favorite. My mother used to take it to Sunday evening potlucks when I was a kid. I'm going to have four extra kidlets over this coming weekend; this should be a hit!
I made this for a potluck the other day with strawberries. I prefer raspberries but this was cheaper!
Yum! I love this recipe. It's become a Thanksgiving favorite in my family (made with strawberries). I had never even heard of it until I married my husband and his Mom made it.
