This refreshing fruit salad recipe with a wonderful twist comes from Hawaii. It's a conversation piece as well...great for parties and potlucks. The Almond Ice will have everyone guessing why these 'ice cubes' don't melt!! For those of you who are diabetics. The unflavored gelatin is ok for you to have. However, replace sugar with something like Splenda.
