Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 3 packets (or 3/4 oz) of unflavored gelatin (about 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder)
- 1 cup water
Juice
- 2 cups 100% pomegranate juice (preferably POM Wonderful Brand or similar)
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: In a microwave-safe container, pour 1 cup of water and evenly sprinkle the gelatin powder over the surface. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Microwave the gelatin mixture for 60 to 90 seconds until fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Combine with juice: Slowly pour in the 2 cups of pomegranate juice while stirring continuously to prevent lumps or clumps from forming.
- Remove foam (optional): If there is any foam on the surface, use a spoon or sieve to gently skim it off for a clearer jelly.
- Chill the jello: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture set fully for 4 to 6 hours until firm.
- Serve: Once set, cut the jello into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
- Enjoy! This homemade pomegranate jello is a delightful way to enjoy a fruity treat made from real juice.
Notes
- Use 100% pomegranate juice with no added sugars for the best natural flavor and healthier option.
- Do not boil the gelatin mixture as it can affect the texture and setting capability.
- Skimming foam is optional but improves the visual appearance of the jello.
- For firmer jello, you may use a little less juice or increase gelatin slightly.
- Store leftover jello covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for freshness.
- You can add fresh pomegranate seeds or garnish with mint for extra texture and presentation.
