Apricot-Orange Gelatin Salad

By: Vicki Monte 
"My Step-mom gave me this recipe about 20 years ago and we have incorporated it into our holiday traditions ever since! It may seem strange to put cheese on this, but it really does cut the sweetness enough to serve it with dinner."

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can apricot halves, drained with juice reserved
