BERRIES & CREAM SALAD SQUARES-Sara (I got this from Heather for Thanksgiving dinner)

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1-3oz. pkg raspberry/strawberry-flavored gelatin
• 1/4 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
• 3/4 cup cold water
• ¾ c. fresh blueberries/blackberries
• 1/2 of an 8-ounce tub cream cheese
• 1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
• 2/3 cup whipping cream
• ¾ c. fresh raspberries/strawberries
• 1/4 cup chopped sliced almonds or pecans, toasted
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Stir boiling water into gelatin for 2 minutes or till completely dissolved. Stir in cold water and lemon juice. Chill till partially set (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Stir berries into partially set gelatin. Pour berry mixture into an 8x8x2-inch baking dish. Chill till firm.
• Meanwhile, beat whipping cream just till soft peaks form. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat till fluffy (mixture will thicken as it is beaten). Stir in lemon peel. Carefully spoon cream cheese mixture over berry mixture; spread to edge of dish. Cover; chill at least 6 hours. To serve, sprinkle nuts over salad; cut into squares. Makes 9 servings.
