30 30

Ingredients

2 cans (11 ounces each) mandarin oranges
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
8 whole cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free lemon gelatin
1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free orange gelatin
1 cup cranberry juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
DRESSING:
1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free sour cream
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Drain oranges, reserving juice; set oranges aside. Add enough water to juice to measure 2-1/2 cups; pour into a large saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Strain liquid; discard spices.
Return liquid to pan and return to a boil. In a large bowl, combine the lemon and orange gelatins; add boiling liquid and stir until dissolved. Stir in cranberry and lemon juices. Cover and refrigerate until syrupy, about 45 minutes. Fold in mandarin oranges. Transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. mold coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients. Unmold gelatin onto a serving platter; serve with dressing. Yield: 8 servings.
