1 (6 oz.) pkg. orange Jello
2 (3 1/8 oz.) pkg. vanilla pudding (cook & serve type, NOT instant)
4 1/2 c. hot water
1 (12 oz.) carton Cool Whip
2 (11 oz.) cans mandarin oranges, drained

Combine Jello, pudding and water. Boil until mixture is clear. Chill overnight before serving. Fold in Cool Whip and oranges.

NOTE: The gelatin and pudding never gets real clear but when it appears clear in spoon that's ok. This makes a large salad and is especially attractive in a glass bowl. You can add more oranges if you want.
