Mom’S Gelatin Fruit Salad

• 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 6 medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
• 1 cup green grapes, halved
• 12 maraschino cherries, halved
• 1/2 cup chopped dates, optional

1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Heat and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in sugar, orange juice and lemon juice; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
2. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate, covered, until slightly thickened, about 1-1/2 hours. Fold in fruit. Pour into a 6-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray or a 2-qt. serving bowl. Refrigerate until firm. If using a ring mold, unmold onto a serving plate.
