2003 Adapted Recipe - April Ferre - From Chinese: The Essence of Asian Cooking, 2002.

"During college, I spent a lot of time hanging out at my friends', Joyce and Pat, apartment.  Joyce made something a kin to this one night from packaged gelatin, I assume from an Asian market, because I couldn't find it in the grocery store.  So I sought out to find a recipe for it.  This is my favorite use of fruit cocktail." - April Ferre
