Wyoming Attempt at Uncle D's Wierd Nebraska Fruit

OK.  We started the process by memory instead of looking up Uncle D's post from February 19, 2012 entitled Nebraska Citrus Fruit.  We had lots of oranges that were going to go bad if we did not make some juice. (Those cute little wrestler boys who sell boxes of fruit are impossible to say no to)  Even though we remembered that D had eaten all the insides of the oranges he used (yeah--- we Googled Vitamin C poisoning) we decided to cut these and juice them.  Which we did.  Well, WE did until Bob sliced her finger really bad, and I was left to finish alone.........

Then we looked up the instructions to see how to make the jello.  One of the first instructions is to get a sharp knife and not tell Uncle D's sister (me).  Huh.  Maybe I should have kept the knife to myself---- seems Bob is related to Uncle D.  Never give either one of them a knife!!!!!  I told Bob that we already had 2 blood oranges in our mixed box of fruit..  We did not need DIY ones.....

Anyway, we read the instructions.... not only did Bob mishandle the knife, she cut the oranges the wrong direction (equator vs. north to south).  After we ran them on the juicer, they looked a little like this: 

Then  we I  had to dig the membranes out.  This was not easy, and I cursed my brother for making this look so good that I had to try it.  6 oranges later (well, we juiced a good 20, but I only used the ones with the thickest skin because they were easier to clean) I had a pile of membranes like this:  (ewww)

 (Believe it or not, I did not make spoon sweets or anything out of the rest of the peelings this time.  I THREW THEM AWAY...... OH MY OH MY!!!)

We started following instructions after that, but only used one flavor of jello--- a "Tropical Fusion" flavor.  Whisk for 3 minutes???  Are you kidding me?  You really did not do it that long, did you, D?  Admit it.  That is like FOREVER.....  OK.  I sat down at the counter and did it. When I poured it into the shells, two of them leaked into the bottom of the muffin tin, through their navel.  Thus the instructions to cut them north to south, duh.  Oh well, we only lost 2.  Some of the others are not quite to the top because I jiggled the pan putting it into the fridge and spilled some.  What?? ......You will get old someday too.  Just. you. wait.

The next day, we trimmed the tops and cut them into wedges.  Sorry D, no kids to fool at my house, we just cut them.... right out in the open... in front of everyone...  D said use a serated knife and "saw" the jello.  My knife is SHARP enough to not need serations or the sawing motion.  (As evidenced by the slice taken off Bob's finger). 

Yeah. Yeah.  Mom cut up another sticker............But D, you have to admit  THAT is a knife!

We got cute little wedges. 

 And a sliced finger does not prevent the eating of the finished product.

Thank you Uncle D for the experience..........
