Being diabetic I'm trying to eat healthier. Problem is I have a sweet tooth! This is a easy to make dessert. It satisfies my sweet tooth and crunch cravings.
I have the small molds shown above. The lids are hard to get on. Make sure the bottom lids are on tight before you pour your gelatin salad into them.
Orange Jello, Pineapple, and Carrot Salad
1 small box sugar-free orange Jello
1 eight ounce can crushed pineapple drained (save the juice)
3/4 to 1 cup (about 3 large) grated carrots
1 cup boiling
1 cup reserved juice plus water to equal 1 cup
Dissolve the Jello in one cup of boiling water. whisk about 2 minutes.
Drain pineapple, save juice
Add enough cold water to the juice to make one cup and stir into jello mixture
Refrigerate until soft set. About 1 hour-1 1/2 hours.
Grate your carrots. I used my food processor since I'm having a flair up with my arthritis right now. Much easier to do! My Aunt Becky uses pineapple tidbits sometimes too.
Once the Jello is soft set stir in the pineapple and grated carrots.
Pour into a mold or individual serving dishes. Refrigerate until set.
I'll be cutting back to about a 1/2 cup of shredded carrots in the next one. Otherwise it was great! It's been years since I've made it.
