I decided to experiment with unflavored gelatin and pineapple orange juice; what a success! This salad is rich, creamy, and full of Vitamin C. You can find pineapple-orange juice in the juice and drink aisle of your local supermarket. Be sure to check out the Step by Step to see how to make it. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:In large bowl, stir together gelatin and 1/2 cup sugar. Drain oranges and reserve juice. Add 2 cans of the pineapple-orange juice to reserved juice to make 3 cups total. Pour 1 cup of this juice mixture over the gelatin and sugar mixture.
Heat remaining 2 cups juice mixture in the microwave oven until boiling, about 4-6 minutes on high. Pour over gelatin mixture and stir thoroughly until gelatin and sugar dissolve. Pour into 12" round shallow casserole dish over the mandarin oranges. Chill for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. In small saucepan, 1/2 cup sugar and flour and stir to combine. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in third can of pineapple-orange juice and water and beat with wire whisk until combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture boils and thickens. Chill in refrigerator until cold, stirring occasionally. Beat cream in small bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into cooled egg mixture and spread gently over set orange gelatin. Chill 4-6 hours before serving. 8-10 servings NOTE: To make this salad easier, omit the cooked topping and flavor some whipped topping with grated orange zest. Spread that over the set gelatin and chill until ready to serve. NUTRITION:
