I didn't put the amount of sugar because it is on the package of Jello. It will make it sweet if you make the Jello according to the Jello directions. After you chill the ingredients then make your Jello and fold into the fruit nut mixture.

The relatives loved this. The orange adds a little zing that other recipes do not have. This is definately a keeper recipe. Thank you for sharing!

This was great and will become a Thanksgiving tradition for us. Was a bit tart. I might try to add a little sweetener next time
