Ingredients

2 cups Boiled water, divided

1 pkt (4.oz size)lemon Jello (I used sugar and fat free)

cup Miracle Whip, (I used the light)

2 cups Thawed Cool Whip

1 pkt (4 oz. size) Cranberry Jello (sugar and fat free) (o

1 can (16 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce

1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange segments, drained

Preparation

I made this Cranberry Ring yesterday, and everyone loved it. For once I did something right. I got this recipe from a Miracle Whip flyer that came with our newspaper.

Stir 1 cup of the boiling water into lemon gelatin in medium bowl for at least 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Add lemon gelatin gradually to dressing, mixing until blended. (I used my electric mixer to expedite this procedure) Gently fold in Cool Whip. Pour into greased 1 quart mold. Refrigerate until almost set. (This doesn't take much time)

Stir remaining 1 cup boiling water into cranberry gelatin in medium bowl at least 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Gently stir in cranberry sauce until well blended. Stir in oranges. Pour over molded layer.

Refrigerate until firm.

Unmold onto serving plate.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Leave in mold, covered, until ready to serve. (I made this 2 days ahead and it turned out great.)

I am going to make this for Christmas, but I am going to add a green layer to make it more Christmasy.
