Categories: Molded Dessert
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 2 Tbsp. (2 envelopes) unflavored gelatin
- 1 1/4 cups orange juice
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 cups ginger ale
- 2 cups orange sections
- 2/3 cup pecans (about 2 1/2 oz)
Directions
- Set out a 1 1/2 quart mold.
- Pour lime juice into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over juice. Let stand 5 minutes, to soften.
- Heat orange juice until very hot. Remove from heat and immediately stir in softened gelatin until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in sugar, then salt, and follow with ginger ale; stirring until blended.
- Chill until gelatin mixture is slightly thicker than consistency of thick, unbeaten egg white.
- Meanwhile, lightly oil the mold with salad or cooking oil (not olive oil); set aside to drain.
- Using a sharp knife, cut away peel and remove sections (by cutting on either side of dividing membrane) from enough oranges to yield 2 cups orange sections. Remove and discard any seeds.
- Coarsely chop and set aside pecans
- When gelatin mixture is of desired consistency, mix in the orange sections and pecans. Turn into prepared mold and chill in refrigerator until firm.
- To serve, unmold onto chilled serving plate.
