Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (1 envelope)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup chilled pink fruit juice (strawberry, cranberry, or mixed berry)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 1/4 cup cold water and letting it sit for 3–5 minutes until swollen.
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, then pour it over the bloomed gelatin, stirring vigorously for 1–2 minutes until fully dissolved.
- Stir in 1 cup of chilled pink fruit juice and sugar or sweetener, then pour into an 8×8-inch pan or individual molds.
- Refrigerate at 40°F or below for at least 4 hours until set.
Notes
Avoid using fresh pineapple or kiwi unless cooked, as their enzymes prevent gelatin from setting. Blooming the gelatin in cold liquid before adding the hot liquid prevents graininess.
