Ingredients
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup fruit juice (such as orange, apple, or grape)
1/4 cup sugar
Optional: fresh fruit pieces or food coloring
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, heat the fruit juice and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
4. If using, add food coloring or fold in fresh fruit pieces.
5. Pour the mixture into a mold or serving dish.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
7. To unmold, dip the mold in warm water for a few seconds and invert onto a plate.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Avoid adding fresh pineapple, kiwi, or papaya as they contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting.
Serve chilled. Garnish with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
