Alphabet Fruit Salad
- 1 3-oz. pkg. orange-flavored gelatin
- 1 3-oz. pkg. lemon flavored gelatin
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups canned orange and grapefruit sections with syrup (1 lb. can)

Dissolve gelatin and salt in boiling water. Drain orange and grapefruit sections, reserving syrup. Add enough orange-grapefruit syrup to ginger ale to make 1¾ cups liquid. Add lemon juice. Stir into gelatin until blended. Chill until thickened to consistency of egg white. Meanwhile, cook macaroni in boiling, salted water until tender, yet firm, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Blend cottage cheese and orange rind into thickened gelatin. Stir in orange and grapefruit sections, macaroni and prunes. Place 9-inch square pan on tray in refrigerator. Pour gelatin into pan. Chill until firm. Cut into squares to serve. Serves 6 to 8.
