Directions

  • 1
    Pour the boiling water into a large bowl. Add the gelatin and cinnamon, and stir for at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

  • 2
    Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. Add enough ice (or cold water) to the juice to measure 1½ cups. Add to the gelatin mixture and stir until the ice is completely melted.

  • 3
    Refrigerate for about 45 minutes, or until the gelatin is slightly thickened (to the consistency of unbeaten egg whites).

  • 4
    Reserve ¼ cup each of the pineapple and orange. Add remaining pineapple and oranges to gelatin. Pour mixture into a 1½-quart serving bowl.

  • 5
    Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm. Garnish with the reserved pineapple and oranges, and serve.
