Ingredients
  • 2 oranges, halved crosswise
  • About 2 cups prepared red-colored Jell-O (any flavor is fine, as long as it's red), still warm
Preparation

Using an orange juicer, a large spoon or your fingers, remove the flesh from each orange half so you are left with a hollowed-out, but otherwise intact skin. Prop the orange skins, cut-side up, in a muffin tin. Fill with the warm Jell-O mixture and refrigerate until set. To serve, carefully cut into wedges with a sharp knife.
