I've served this refreshing, pleasantly light citrus dessert for years. It is easy to make but looks so elegant. For special occasions, I put it in a crystal bowl to show off its pretty color. —Sue Murphy of Greenwood, Michigan
Ingredients:
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges
2 packages (.3 ounce each) sugar-free orange gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 pint orange sherbet, softened
fresh mint, optional
Directions:
1. Drain oranges, reserving the juice, add enough water to juice to measure 1 cup. Refrigerate the oranges.
2. In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in reserved juice. Add sherbet, stirring until dissolved. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until thickened.
3. Keep 10 orange segments refrigerated for garnish. Fold remaining oranges into gelatin mixture; cover and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, garnish with reserved oranges and mint if desired. Yield: 10 servings.
