Orange Salad

After reviewing my Easter entry and the orange salad, I was reminded of a birthday card Sharon sent to mom one year.  It went something like this:

A can of mandarin oranges is just a can of mandarin oranges.  But in Mom's hands, with some Jello gelatin, it turns into something damn tasty!

Hahahahaha!  Still makes me laugh!  

I guarantee that anyone who eats this salad will want the recipe.  My cousin, Sue Chellstorp Mackenzie and her husband, Jeremy, found an old  cookbook at my Aunt Margie's house with an orange Jello and sherbet recipe dating from 1973 I think.  Very cool!  The original recipe Mom had called for Dream Whip.  Not sure they even make that anymore...
