Just made these today for my son’s preschool class. They were a hit! I used a 2 cup measuring cup and filled the oranges almost full, then I transferred them to the refirgerator. After about 5 minutes I filled them the rest of the way to help make up for the shrinkage. Can’t wait to try these using the whipped cream vodka, yum!

I made these for the first time today, and I and giving the watermelon one a whirl! 1 pk of jello does half of the little mini watermellons. I did the adult version and used Pinnacle whipped cream flavored vodka with the orange jello… AMAZING! its like a cream cicle! I found that a grapefruit spoon works great to get the bits out and have a cleaner ‘cup”

just found this site and i love it :)

however, i wanted to point out that the lemon experiment probably came out bitter because you used regular lemons, which are chock-full of pesticides, and this makes the rinds extremely bitter. try it with organic (or pesticide-free) lemons next time, and i’m sure it will taste much better!

If you blanch then plunge into cold water (do this twice to make super certain) your citrus rind you should remove most of the bitterness and maintain most of the flavour and scent oil.

You could also give the rind a brief boil in sugar syrup, as well!

Another thing that really makes them worth while is to add either a gummy bear in the centers or fruit slices!! its so yummy(:

I don’t like giving my kids regular jello jigglers due to the amount of sugar in them. So I always make my jello jigglers with one box of regular jello made to the directions (for amount of water used) but I use some of that cold water to bloom unflavored gelatine; mix it all together with the jello mix and remaining water and microwave it until it is all dissolved. Then it has the firmness of jigglers but the flavor and same amount of sugar as regular jello.

This looks so good!! How clever! I posted a link to this article in my blog, I can’t wait to try this out. I love the new trend in faux food! Siri’s idea to use sorbet also sounds awesome, maybe once I get better at molded foods lol.

I made these for my little kid cousins for the 4th of July – what a hit!

Knowing that the lemon and lime rinds would be sour, I sprinkled both with granulated sugar before adding the jello. Then I waited until the hot jello had cooled a little before pouring it in. Worked great!

I found a recipe 5 or 6 years ago in a magazine and have been searching for the recipe again. The big difference with the ones I made then was the use of the fruit juice and pulp. Also, it was the time when Jello made a sugar-free grapefruit flavor, so I used that also. My son (11) has asked for them almost every summer since we first made them. This is the only recipe I’ve found that is close enough to the ones we made then, that I’ll have to try it out again. Thanks

I bet if you boiled the rinds after cleaning them, the rest of the pulp will come out easily. Then freeze the empty skins before putting the jello in, to make them hard again.

I found that rather than using ramekins, you can fill a mixing bowl with equal parts water and crushed ice (like you get from the dispenser on your fridge) and then put the orange halves in their. works just as well without having to have a bunch of ramekins. The jello sets quicker too thanks to convection.

My mom makes these, except using the actual juice from the oranges. So good… it’s worth the trouble. She also makes lemon sorbet frozen in upright lemon ‘cases’ (so cute with the little lid and a sprig of mint!), and (drumroll please), egg-shaped Bavarian cream for Easter that use egg shells as moulds.

My room mate and I made these last night. What did you find the best way to get the fruit out of the peels? We used a paring knife, and then scooped the fruit out with a spoon, but it left a lot of rind that was sort of hanging off of the peel that was difficult to remove.

these oranges look good. they look real (besides the blue oranges) I beat i could trick someone with the orange jelly i would just put some “seeds” in it. then when the have it, it would be jello. Great for everyone
