LEMON GELATIN PARFAITS
The lemon gelatin might sound like nothing more than lemon-flavor Jell-O (and you can certainly use lemon Jell-O if you want to save a little money and a tiny bit of effort over juicing lemons or buying lemon juice), but in this case "authentic" is also "easy," and the real flavor of lemon is much nicer than the artificial flavor used in Jell-O and other brands.

PEAR AND SWEET WINE GELATIN PARFAITS
Jell-O has been glimmering and shimmering since 1897, and it took America by storm during the 1920s: That was the era for molded salads and desserts. Jell-O has been a staple in the American pantry since then, and in 1997, in celebration of its hundred-year anniversary, the company brought out a sparkling white grape flavor that is mixed with seltzer rather than water, giving it an appealing spritz. Here we've added sweet Muscat wine, too.
Yield Makes 6 servings

Steps:
- Place Jell-O in large bowl. Bring 1 cup Muscat and 1/2 cup water to boil in medium saucepan. Pour over Jell-O in bowl; stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Stir in seltzer (mixture will be foamy). Refrigerate until Jell-O is set, at least 6 hours or overnight. Mix chopped pears and remaining 1/4 cup Muscat in small bowl. Spoon half of Jell-O into 4 wine goblets or parfait glasses, dividing equally. Top with pear mixture, then remaining Jell-O. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
