Fruit Jellies
These honey-tinged fruit jellies are soft-set--definitely not the bouncy gelatin we grew up with. Use any fruit you like (except pineapple or kiwi, which prevent gelatin from setting), so long as you have 4 to 5 cups.

Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice or orange juice
- 2 (1/4-oz) envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup good-quality honey
- 2 pink grapefruits
- 2 navel oranges
- 3 cups assorted raspberries, strawberries, pomegranate seeds, and cherries
Preparation
- 1. Strain the juice through a sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract all the juice; discard pulp. Pour half the juice into a shallow bowl; sprinkle the gelatin on top and let stand 5 minutes. Combine the remaining juice with honey in a medium saucepan and heat to a simmer, stirring until the honey has dissolved. Remove from heat.
- 2. With rubber spatula, scrape gelatin mixture into warm juice and stir until gelatin has completely dissolved (mixture should not feel grainy when rubbed between fingers).
- 3. With sharp knife, cut peel and pith from grapefruits and oranges; cut between membranes to release segments. Arrange all fruit in 6 (10-oz) glasses and fill with juice mixture. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours until set (or up to 3 days).
