Jelly Oranges? Orange Jellies? - You work it out!

These are a family favourite! We always make them for Birthday parties, but they're also good for picnics, barbecues, cake sales, etc. However, if possible, it's better to transport them as they are and slice them up in situ, as the jelly can fall out of the wedges on bumpy journeys!
Start by chopping your oranges in half, and juicing them. Be sure to keep the shell intact.
Using a teaspoon, gently scrape the remaining pith and fiber away until you are left with a clean half-orange peel shell.
Place these in a tray and make up your jelly/jello according to instructions. You may want to use slightly less water to encourage a firmer jelly.
Refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight, to allow jelly to set.
Then slice into wedges, and serve.
