Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water.
Pour into an 8-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise for base of palm trees. Make a hole in the uncut side of potato halves that's large enough to hold a carrot; set aside. For tree trunks, use a sharp knife to make a thin petal-shaped cut on one side of each carrot toward the bottom, leaving slice attached. Rotate carrot a quarter turn and make another cut. Repeat one or two more times around carrot. Make another series of cuts about 1-1/2 in. above first set. Make a third series of cuts about 1-1/2 in. above second set. Insert carrots into potatoes.
For palm leaves, cut tops off green peppers and remove seeds (discard tops or save for another use). Make deep V-shape cuts around bottom edge of pepper.
Place a pepper on top of each carrot; secure with toothpicks.
Thread fruit onto wooden skewers; insert into whole pineapple. Unmold gelatin ring and place on a 19-in. x 12-in. platter.
Place whole pineapple in center of gelatin, and palm trees and any additional chunks of fruit around gelatin.
