POT OF GOLD

Category: Jello

1 (4-serving size) pkg each strawberry, orange and lemon flavored gelatins
3 cups boiling water, divided
1 cup cold water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 can (8 oz ) pineapple tidbits, drained
1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Prepare the strawberry and orange gelatin separately by dissolving each in 1 cup boiling water; stir until completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water to each, and then pour each into an 8 inch square pan. Chill for about 1-1/2 hours or until firm, and then cut into 1 inch cubes. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator.

Dissolve the lemon gelatin and sugar in 1 cup boiling water and stir in the orange juice; chill until slightly thickened (about 30 minutes). Stir in the pineapple tidbits and whipped topping; mix well. Fold in the gelatin cubes and pour into a 10 inch tube pan. Chill for 6 to 8 hours or until firm. When ready to serve, dip the tube pan three-quarters of the way in hot water for 10 seconds and invert quickly over a serving plate that is larger than the pan. Gently shake to loosen the dessert from the pan. Cut into 1/2 inch slices.
