Ingredients

1 11-ounce can mandarin orange sections

1 3-ounce package lemon-flavored gelatin

1/2 cup orange juice

2 beaten eggs

1 cup dairy sour cream

1 3-ounce package cream cheese, cubed and softened

1 medium banana, sliced

Method

Drain orange sections, reserving syrup. Add enough water to syrup to measure 1 cup liquid. In a saucepan bring syrup-water mixture to boiling. Add gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Stir in orange juice. Gradually stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture into eggs, return all to saucepan. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Add sour cream and cream cheese; beat with a rotary beater till smooth. Chill till partially set (the consistency of unbeaten egg whites).

 

Fold in orange sections, sliced banana, and nuts. Turn into a 0x6x2-inch dish. Chill till firm. Cut into squares. Serve on lettuce-lined salad plates. Makes 8 servings.
