Ingredients
2cupsOrange Juice - fresh squeezed for best flavor
1TbspUnflavored Gelatin1 envelope
1/4cupSugaroptional
Instructions
Place 1/4 cup orange juice (pulp in or pulp-free - your choice) in a medium sized bowl and sprinkle gelatin on top. Allow to rest for 1-2 minutes as gelatin soaks up juice and swells.
Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup juice in microwave or on stove top.
Add hot juice to gelatin mixture and stir briskly until gelatin is dissolved about 1-2 minutes.
Taste your juice and add as much or as little sugar as you desire. Stir until any sugar is dissolved.
Add remainder of the juice.
Pour into serving dish or individual dishes and allow to set for 3 to 4 hours (less if in small individual dishes).
The gelatin will not add any noticeable flavor - the quality and taste of the juice you use will determine the final flavor. To get 2 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice plan on juicing about 6 medium sized oranges. Use the same instructions for whatever juice you have available - other than pineapple, mango or papaya which won't set with gelatin.
