Tips:

Choose the right oranges. For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe oranges. Avoid oranges that are bruised or have brown spots.
Zest your oranges. The zest of an orange is the flavorful outer layer of the peel. To zest an orange, use a citrus zester or a fine grater to remove the zest in long, thin strips.
Use fresh lemon juice. Lemon juice adds a bright, tart flavor to the jello dessert. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter.
Chill the jello dessert thoroughly. The jello dessert needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will help it to set properly.
Serve the jello dessert with fresh fruit or whipped cream. Fresh fruit, such as oranges, grapefruit, or berries, can add a refreshing touch to the jello dessert. Whipped cream can also add a creamy, decadent flavor.
