Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Large oranges (or any large citrus fruit, like grapefruit or lemons)
- 3 ounces Jello mix (any flavor of your choice)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
Instructions
Cut the oranges in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon, leaving behind clean, hollowed-out orange halves. Be careful not to puncture the peel.
Set the hollowed-out orange halves upright on a baking tray or a muffin tin to keep them steady.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Jello mix with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir constantly until the powder has completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jello mixture and stir well to combine.
Carefully pour the Jello mixture into each orange half, filling them up to the rim.
Refrigerate the filled orange halves for at least 3-4 hours or until the Jello is fully set.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut each orange half into wedges (cut them into thirds or quarters, depending on size).
Serve chilled and enjoy your colorful Jello Fruit Wedges!
