Sunshine Salad

There are many variations of "Sunshine Salad", some with strong lemon flavor that is not kid-friendly at all. In fact, I once made one that was too strong for me, and I love lemon. So when I came across this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine I gave it a try and I've been using it ever since. This one is very mild in flavor and very kid-friendly. Blessings...

Recipe:

1 pkg. (3 oz.) lemon gelatin

1 cup boiling water

1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple

1/3 cup orange juice concentrate

1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained

1. In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water.

2. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Set pineapple aside.

3. Add enough water to the juice to equal 1 cup; stir into gelatin. Add orange juice concentrate. Chill until partially set. This will take about 1-1/2 hours.

4. Stir in the pineapple and mandarin oranges. Pour into 4-cup mold, 4 x 8-inch loaf pan, or glass bowl. Chill until set.
