Fresh Fruit Jello
- 3/4 cup cool water
- 3 1/2 tablespoons powdered gelatin (4 envelopes)
- 3 pounds fresh fruit, peeled and/or roughly chopped as necessary
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- Place the water in a wide, shallow bowl, and evenly sprinkle the powdered gelatin over it. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a large pot, combine the fruit, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down and releases it's juices, 5-10 minutes.
- Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer. Measure the juice - you should have about 4 cups of liquid. If possible, take the temperature of the liquid and ensure it's not above 212u0b0F.
- Melt the gelatin in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir the melted gelatin into the liquid, and pour the liquid into your mold(s).
