Wanda Skousen's Raspberry Jello

This recipe comes from Nana (Cleo Turley).  

2 lg. pkgs. raspberry jello

4 c. boiling water

4 c. orange juice

1 pkg. frozen raspberries.

Dissolve jello in boiling water.  Add orange juice and then frozen raspberries.  Stir until raspberries are thawed.  Mix Fruit Salad Dressing with 1 carton of whipped cream and spread over jello. Or, in a pinch, just spread with whipped cream, or in a bigger pinch, spread with Cool Whip.
