    Make up the orange jello in large bowl as directed on package minus 1/2 cup of the liquid. Put in refrigerator to soft set. Make sure it is not jelled too hard. (Hint: Use a large bowl to make the jello so you can continue adding the ingredients, then you will not have so many dirty bowls to wash.)
