Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups fruit juice (any flavor, unsweetened)
- 1 cup optional fresh fruit (chopped or sliced)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over 1 cup of cold water to bloom. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
While the gelatin blooms, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Carefully pour the boiling water into the bowl with the bloomed gelatin and whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved, which should take about 2 minutes.
Stir in your favorite fruit juice and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and free of lumps.
Optionally, add chopped fresh fruit to the bottom of your serving dish or mold for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the gelatin mixture into the serving dish, mold, or individual cups, covering the fruit, if using.
Carefully transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
Once set, serve the homemade jello gelatine as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
