Good Way to Serve Orange jelly.

Care and little time are needed
to serve orange jelly in the following
way: Select even-sized oranges and
cut them in halves. Carefully remove
the pulp, leaving the compartments
unbroken. Fill every other space with
thin orange jelly, poured in with a
spoon, and put the shells on ice until
the jelly is firm. Then fill the empty
compartments with stiff whipped
cream and serve.
