Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pomegranate or cranberry juice
- 2 packets Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large heatproof bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold pomegranate or cranberry juice. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes to bloom.
Once the gelatin has bloomed, pour the warm sugar-water mixture over the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
Add the remaining 3 cups of pomegranate or cranberry juice to the gelatin mixture, stirring to combine.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a large serving dish or individual molds. If desired, sprinkle in pomegranate seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Before serving, garnish with additional pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves, if using. Serve chilled and enjoy!
