Time 2h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (3 ounce) package lemon gelatin (sugar free is fine too)
1 cup boiling water
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • In a bowl, dissolve gelatin with boiling water.
  • Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice and set pineapple to the side.
  • Add enough water to the pineapple juice to equal 1 cup then stir this into the gelatin.
  • Add orange juice concentrate to gelatin.
  • Chill mixture until partially set.
  • Fold in the pineapple and mandarin oranges.
  • Pour into a 4 cup mold or pretty glass bowl.
  • Chill until fully set before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe fruits. Using ripe, in-season fruits will give your salad the best flavor and texture. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat the salad and will also help the fruits to absorb the gelatin mixture more evenly.
  • Use a variety of colors and flavors. This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good combinations to try include strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries; oranges, grapefruit, and pineapple; or grapes, apples, and celery.
  • Don't overmix the gelatin mixture. Overmixing can cause the gelatin to become tough and rubbery. Stir the mixture just until it is well combined.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the gelatin to set and will also make the salad more refreshing.
