Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup fresh organic fruit juice (like cranberry, cherry, orange, apple, or grape)
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality grass-fed gelatin powder (unflavored)
  • 1 1/2 cups cold fresh organic fruit juice
  • Natural sweetener to taste (e.g., maple syrup, stevia, erythritol)
  • Filtered water
  • Optional: Fresh berries or sliced fruit for garnish
  • Optional: A touch of citrus zest (lemon or orange)

Method
 

  1. Pour 1/2 cup of your chosen fruit juice into a medium saucepan. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the juice. Allow it to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the juice-gelatin mixture, whisking constantly until the gelatin completely dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cold fruit juice. Add your chosen natural sweetener to taste, whisking thoroughly.
  4. If using, stir in citrus zest and optional additions like marine collagen or chia seeds.
  5. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into heatproof bowls or ramekins. Arrange fresh fruit at the bottom if desired.
  6. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours, or until completely firm and set.
  7. Once set, garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure to bloom gelatin in cold liquid first. Allow adequate chilling time for proper setting.
