The method
Step by step
- 1
Pour the cold water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Letting the gelatin bloom without stirring prevents lumps and ensures a smooth final texture.
- 2
Place the saucepan over low heat and warm gently, stirring constantly, just until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Boiling can weaken the gelatin's setting power, so keep the heat low.
- 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsweetened fruit juice.
About 1 min
- 4
If using, add the low-calorie sweetener and stir until it is fully dissolved.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Taste the mixture before it sets and add more sweetener if desired.
- 5
Carefully pour the liquid into four individual serving dishes or ramekins.
About 1 min
- 6
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the jelly is completely firm.
About 3 hr
Cook’s note: Cover the dishes with plastic wrap to prevent the jelly from absorbing any odors from the fridge.
