Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 1 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a separate large heatproof bowl, pour 2 cups of boiling water and stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the sugar water, stirring until completely dissolved and smooth.

Prepare a 9x13-inch glass dish or individual serving glasses for the gelatin. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and mandarin orange segments evenly across the bottom.
Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the fruit. Ensure the fruit is evenly distributed and submerged.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is fully set.
