In a medium-sized bowl, add the gelatin to 1⁄2 cup water and let it sit for 2–3 minutes to soften. Pour the 1⁄2 cup boiling water over the soaked gelatin and stir until dissolved.

To serve, cut the chilled gelatin into 1-inch squares and serve in individual serving bowls with the fruit cocktail over the top.
