- Pour the mixture into a large glass serving dish or divide it into 12 individual serving dishes.

Notes
For extra fruit variety, add mandarin oranges, apple slices, or grapes.
Substitute chopped walnuts or almonds for the pecans for a different flavor and texture.
For a creamier version, top with whipped cream or Cool Whip.
For a lower-calorie option, use sugar-free gelatin and reduce or omit the sugar.
