Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups real fruit juice (e.g., orange, grape)
- 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 cups of real fruit juice, 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder, and 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar (if desired).
- If using honey or sugar, decide on the amount based on your sweetness preference. Keep in mind that the fruit juice may already have some natural sweetness.
- In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 1/2 cup of the fruit juice. Stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This may take a minute or two.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the remaining
- 5 cups of fruit juice over low heat. Do not bring it to a boil; you just want it warm enough to help dissolve the gelatin.
- If you are using honey or sugar, add it to the warm fruit juice and stir until completely dissolved.
- Once the gelatin mixture is fully dissolved, pour it into the warm fruit juice mixture. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes to ensure that the gelatin is evenly distributed throughout the juice.
- Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or a mold of your choice. Make sure to leave some space at the top as the gelatin will expand slightly as it sets.
- Refrigerate the cups or mold for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set. For best results, leave it overnight.
- Once set, gently remove the gelatin from the mold or serve directly from the cups. Enjoy your refreshing real fruit juice gelatin!
Tips
- Choose high-quality, 100% real fruit juice for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Always bloom your gelatin in a small amount of juice first to prevent lumps and ensure smooth consistency.
- Keep the heat low when warming the juice - you want it warm, not boiling, to preserve the gelatin's setting properties.
- For a more intense flavor, consider using concentrated fruit juice or adding a splash of fresh fruit puree.
- Experiment with different juice combinations to create unique flavor profiles.
- For a clearer gelatin, strain the juice before mixing to remove any pulp or sediment.
- Chill your serving dishes before pouring the gelatin mixture to help it set faster and more evenly.
- If you want a firmer texture, you can add an extra half tablespoon of gelatin powder.
