ORANGE DELIGHT JELLO SALAD

While there appears to be a huge variety of Orange Delight salads out there, I have yet to run across one made exactly the way we make it in our home. My mom received the recipe from a co-worker probably 40+ years ago. Even after a heavy meal, this is a really refreshing dessert. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small pkgs orange jello
3 c boiling water
1 (16 oz) can(s) frozen orange juice concentrate
1 (20 oz. can(s) crushed pineapple, drained
2 can(s) mandarin oranges, drained
1 small package of instant lemon pudding and pie filling
1 small carton of cool whip
grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Add 3 cups boiling water to Jello and mix well to dissolve. Add orange juice concentrate. Add drained pineapple and oranges; mix. Put in refrigerator and let set up. Mix pudding mix with Cool Whip. Spread on top of set up Jello. Sprinkle with Cheddar Cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use fresh, juicy oranges. Navel oranges are a good option, as they are known for their sweetness and lack of seeds.
  • Prepare the oranges properly: Before juicing the oranges, wash them thoroughly and remove any seeds. You can also zest the oranges before juicing them to add extra flavor.
  • Use a quality gelatin: Gelatin is what gives orange jello its signature jiggly texture. Be sure to use a high-quality gelatin that is free of impurities.
  • Dissolve the gelatin properly: Gelatin must be dissolved in hot liquid before it can be added to the orange juice. Be sure to follow the instructions on the gelatin package carefully.
  • Chill the jello thoroughly: Orange jello needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before it is ready to serve. This will give the jello time to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Orange jello delight is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With its bright citrus flavor and refreshing texture, it is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a party or simply looking for a sweet treat, orange jello delight is sure to please.
