GRANDMOTHER'S ORANGE SALAD

I trust you had a wonderful Christmas - weather notwithstanding.

I know this recipe is more of a spring/summer mix but it's in the sampler and therefore is part of my recipe post campaign I talked about a few days ago.

And no, I'm not really sure who's grandmother, but she could cook.

GRANDMOTHER'S ORANGE SALAD
  • 1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges
  • 1 can ( 8 oz) crushed pineapple
  • 1 pkg. (6 oz.) orange flavored gelatin
  • 1 pint orange sherbet, softened
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • water


Drain oranges and pineapple, reserving juices, set oranges and pineapple aside. Add water to juices to measure 2 cups.

Place in a saucepan and bring to a boil; pour over gelatin in a large bowl. Stir until gelatin is dissolved.

Stir in sherbet until smooth. Chill until partially set (watch carefully).

Fold in oranges, pineapple and bananas. Pour into an oiled 6 cup mold. Chill until firm.


As Scarlett uttered, "Tomorrow is another day."
