citric acid  1 1/4 tsp
sugar  6 1/2 tbsp
water  2 1/2 cups
mixed fruit 1 small tin ( 450 gm)

those who don't mind using food colours, may use lemon and cochineal colours

Method

take gelatin, citric acid, sugar, add water, mix well, keep aside for 5 minutes
heat to melt sugar and gelatin, remove from heat and cool
divide this mixture into2 parts- 1/3 and 2/3
in 1/3 part add cherry essence and cochineal colour, set in the fridge to semi-set
in the 2/3 part add yellow colour and mixed fruit essence and half of the fruit from the tin, put in a bowl to semi-set in the fridge
in amould, first pour the semi-set red jelly put in the fridge to set completely
take out, pour over it the mixed fruit jelly
set in fridge to set completely
unmould in a serving plate, by dipping the mould in hot water
decorate with mixed fruit pieces and serve at once

ps- word of caution, food colours are carcinogen, so I stopped using them, so instead of using colours, in one part, you can add some fruits to semi-set , the other plain, then pour carefully one above the other to set completely, decorate with remaining fruits
