Steps:
- 1. Over a bowl, cut the grapefruit in half and section as you would to serve it at the table, being sure to catch all the juice; you want small pieces with little or no membrane or pith. Peel the navel oranges and tangerines, then, over the same bowl, trim off most of the white pith that clings to their surface. Separate into sections and cut into small pieces if necessary, again being sure to catch all the juice. Strain the fruit. To the reserved juice, add the squeezed juice of the juice oranges.
- 2. Toss the fruits with the honey and mint and put them in 4 small bowls. Put the juice in a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Wait a couple of minutes, then warm the mixture over low heat, stirring to dissolve the gelatin. Cool slightly, then pour the juice mixture over the fruits in the bowls.
- 3. Refrigerate for about an hour, or until the liquid in the bowls gels. Serve, garnished with additional mint.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, strain the citrus juice before adding it to the gelatin mixture.
- To get the most flavor out of the citrus, use fresh fruit. If you're using bottled juice, look for one that is 100% juice and has no added sugar.
- If you don't have honey on hand, you can use another type of sweetener, such as sugar or maple syrup. Just be sure to adjust the amount you use to taste.
- To make the jello more refreshing, add a few drops of peppermint extract or lemon extract.
- For a fun and festive touch, garnish the jello with fresh citrus slices or mint leaves.
Conclusion:
Citrus jello with honey and mint is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant color and sweet and tangy flavor, this jello is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
