Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups 100% fruit punch juice
- 3 packets unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional)
Instructions
Pour 2 cups of fruit punch juice into a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 cups of fruit punch juice over medium heat until it just begins to steam but does not boil.
Optional step: If you'd like a sweeter flavor, stir in the honey or sugar while the juice is heating until dissolved.
Carefully pour the hot juice into the bowl with the bloomed gelatin and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a square 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar container. Use a spatula to level the surface if needed.
Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the gelatin into squares or your desired shapes. Carefully remove the squares from the dish using a small spatula or your fingers.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled and enjoy!
