limoncello jello

Brett and I had some sparkling wine left over from our New Years celebrations last night and I remembered a recipe I had seen a long time ago for wine gelees. Basically, really pretty jello shots made with wine. While looking for that recipe again I stumbled across this fun idea for making orange jello. I made mine with alcohol because that was the whole point of looking for a recipe but these could easily be made with sprite, fruit juice, or even just water.

Cut a couple of oranges in half and remove all the insides making sure not to tear the rind.
I used clementines because that is what we had.
Put the orange halves on a cooking sheet or in muffin trays - to help them stay balanced.

Mix flavored jello with 1/2 cup of boiling water and stir until dissolved.
Add 1 cup wine. (I also have a large bottle of lemonchello in my fridge that Brett and I brought back from Italy so I added a couple of splashes of that - hence the title)

Pour the jello mix into the orange halves and refrigerate until set.

Slice the oranges and there you go.
