Gingered Citrus Salad

This was a staple for me through the winter- it was a light, refreshing treat for a mid morning or afternoon snack at work. For the orange juice, I use one of the "not from concentrate" brands like Tropicana or Florida's Best.

• Ready In: 1 hr 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 (1/4ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
• 2  cups  unsweetened orange juice, divided
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1  tablespoon crystallized ginger, finely chopped (optional)
• 2  medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
• 1  medium grapefruit, peeled and sectioned

Directions

1. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup orange juice in a medium bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. Put remaining juice in a small non-reactive saucepan and bring just to a boil. Add to gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin dissolves. Stir in ginger and chill until slightly thickened (takes about 90 minutes, stir occasionally).
3. Chop orange and grapefruit sections, drain. Stir fruit and crystallized ginger (if using) into thickened gelatin.
4. Pour into individual serving dishes (I put it directly into small plastic refrigerator containers) and chill until firm.
