Sunshine Salad

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (1/4 ounce)

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup drained pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Open up a can of pineapple.  Drain the juice into a glass measuring cup.  If you don't have a full cup then add enough orange juice to reach the 1-cup mark.  Pour the pineapple juice into a small saucepan.  Add the unflavored gelatin and the sugar to the pineapple juice.  Allow it to sit while you shred the carrots. 

After sitting for a few minutes the gelatin should soften and swell which will make it easier to dissolve.  Heat the pineapple juice until it is steaming hot.  It doesn't need to boil.  Stir it until the gelatin dissolves, it won't take long.  Add the orange juice, pineapple chunks and carrot to the gelatin mixture.  Mix well.  Pour the mixture into a 3-cup mold.  Chill for several hours or overnight.  To serve divide the mixture into 6 even portions and serve cold.  If desired the gelatin may be served on a bed of lettuce or garnished with parsley for an attractive presentation. 

Makes 6 servings.
