Equipment
- Saucepan
- Storage container (glass with a lid or silicone mold)
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 2 cups juice (store-bought and pasteurized or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (use 2 tablespoons for Concord grape juice; for high-quality, pasture-raised gelatin, use code BEAUTIFUL10 for a 10% discount)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Pour 1 cup of juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the surface and allow it to bloom for about 30 seconds. Whisk the gelatin into the juice.
- Heat the juice over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring or whisking, until it’s steaming and foamy but not simmering. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the remaining 1 cup of cold or room temperature juice.
- Pour the mixture into a storage container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or ideally 6 hours or overnight, until it firms up and is ready to slice.
- Slice the jello into cubes or desired shapes and serve.
Notes
- If using fresh or raw juice, use only ½ cup of juice to heat with the gelatin, saving the rest to preserve its raw state.
