  * To make frosted grapes for decorations: Beat an egg white until
  frothy. Dip the grapes into egg white then immediately roll in sugar,

  tinted sugar for more color variety.
  
  SALAD: 1. Place lime-flavored gelatin into bowl; add 1 cup very hot
  water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Blend in a
  7-ounce bottle of lemon-lime carbonated soft drink. Chill this
  mixture until consistency of unbeaten egg whites. 2. Lightly oil a
  decorative 1-quart mold with vegetable oil; do not use olive oil.
  Invert mold to drain off any excess oil. 3. When gelatin is somewhat
  thickened, add 1 cup thick applesauce. Blend quickly. Pour mixture
  into mold and chill until firm. 4. Unmold onto serving plate and
  surround mold with frosted grapes and sprigs of mint.
