Ingredients
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 packet (about 2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups fruit juice (e.g., orange, grape, or cranberry)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- In a small saucepan, combine remaining 1/2 cup water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove from heat. Add softened gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
- Stir in fruit juice and lemon juice (if using).
- Pour mixture into a 4-cup mold or individual serving dishes. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To unmold, dip mold in warm water for a few seconds, then invert onto a plate.
Tips
- For a firmer gelatin, use 1 1/2 packets of gelatin.
- Add fresh fruit pieces to the mixture before chilling for added texture.
- Store covered in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
