Quick Orange Gel Recipes

ORANGE GELATIN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Add boiling water, stirring until gelatin dissolves.
• To 3 tablespoons of the orange juice add the orange and lemon zest; set aside for 5 minutes.
• Strain the zest out of the orange juice and discard the zest. To the gelatin add all of the orange juice, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Stir until well blended and set aside to cool.
• Pour cooled mixture into a 4-cup mold which has been rinsed in cold water. Cover and refrigerate to congeal.

ORANGE JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together 4 cups of water, orange jello mix, and vanilla pudding mix in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time to keep clumps from forming. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat. Pour into a heat-resistant container (I usually use a glass baking dish), cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about four hours. Remove from fridge and break up the jello into chunks. Place in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream and mix around until everything is combined. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
