Fireburst Fruit Dessert

Slice nectarines to measure 3 to 3 1/2 cups. Arrange 8 slices in bottom of 5 1/2- or 6- cup mold; cut remaining slices crosswise into halves.

Pit and halve cherries.

Dissolve gelatin and salt in boiling water; stir in cold water and lemon juice.

Chill 2/3 mixture until it mounds on spoon; fold in nectarine half-slices and cherry halves.

Gently spoon into mold; chill until partially set.

Meanwhile, chill remaining gelatin mixture until it mounds on spoon; fold in banana and coconut and turn into mold over first layer. Chill until firm.
