Ingredients
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 package (8-serving size) sugar-free cherry gelatin
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, undrained
- 1 can (22 ounces) mandarin oranges in juice, drained
- 16 large ice cubes
Method
- Pour the boiling water into a large bowl. Add the gelatin and cinnamon and stir for at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Add enough ice to the juice to measure 1 1/2 cups, add it to the gelatin mixture, and stir until the ice is completely melted.
- Refrigerate for about 45 minutes, or until the gelatin is slightly thickened (the consistency of unbeaten egg white).
- Reserve 1/4 cup each of the pineapple and the oranges. Stir the remaining pineapple and oranges into the gelatin and pour into a 1 1/2-quart serving bowl.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish with the reserved pineapple and oranges and serve.
