Jello with Mandarin Oranges (Mikan Jelly)

2 cans of mandarin oranges in light syrup (15 oz each)
1/2 c boiling water
1 pkg unflavored gelatin
(water)

Place gelatin in a bowl and add a small amount of water (just enough to cover the gelatin). Let gelatin sit for 5 minutes. Add boiling water to the gelatin and stir well to dissolve gelatin completely. Add the two cans of mandarin oranges in light syrup (do not drain the syrup from the oranges), and stir until mixed. Refrigerate until set (about 2 hours).
