Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams strawberries
- 150 grams raspberries
- 250 milliliters pomegranate juice
- 250 milliliters water
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams powdered gelatin
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and raspberries thoroughly, then gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 50 milliliters of water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom (soften and hydrate the gelatin).
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, remaining 200 milliliters of water, and granulated sugar. Set over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, but do not boil.
Once simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm liquid and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Divide the prepared strawberries and raspberries evenly among four dessert glasses or serving bowls.
Carefully pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the fruits in each glass, ensuring the fruit is fully covered by the liquid.
Place the dessert glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly has fully set.
Once set, garnish each dessert with a fresh mint leaf before serving, if desired.
