So refreshing on a warm day! Because of the sweetness contained in some ingredients, I omitted the sugar, although I did use the drained juice from the canned oranges & pineapple instead of 1 c. cold water. My whole family enjoyed this "slightly tart" orange dessert. The OJ concentrate makes it distinctively different from "orange jello."

This is delicious. I forgot to use the orange juice in the jello part, but otherwise followed the recipe and liked the orange and fruit contrasting with the pudding topping. Delicious.

I am going to make this for a Potluck for Sunday. I found the same recipe except it says a 3 oz. pkg of Jello. Sounds really good.

I haven't made this yet but wonder why you need to add sugar?
