Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Gather the ingredients.

   You will be needing 2 1/2 cups (or enough to fill a cake pan of choice) of chopped, mixed fruit or 1 can of canned fruit salad or fruit cocktail.
   
   Fruits good for this would be pineapple, mango, papaya, and cherries, but you can substitute fruits depending on your location.

   Step 2: Crush the graham crackers until it is almost in a fine dust.

   You may want to use a mortar and pestle for this, but any type of pounding utensil is good.
   
   You can crush the graham crackers inside a bag with the help of a rolling pin, so you don't make a mess. , Follow the instructions that come with the jello package.
   
   The traditional color is clear, but you can use other colors. , Make sure that there is enough to cover the bottom in an even layer.
   
   It should be about 1⁄3 inch (0.8 cm) in thickness at the least. ,, The idea is that you want the jello to mix with the fruits, without disturbing the layer of graham crackers. , Since condensed milk is very sweet and sometimes used as a substitute for sugar, you should use it sparingly, and only for flavor. , This should take about two hours, but you want to leave it there as long as possible in order to get it to be somewhat stable. ,
