Let's Cook

Step 1.

Pour into a small bowl: 3 tablespoons cold water
Step 2.

Sprinkle over the top: 1 envelope (2 ¼ teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
Step 3.

Let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring to a simmer in a medium saucepan: 2 cups cranberry, grape, or apple juice; (1 to 3 tablespoons sugar, to taste, depending on the tartness of the juice used)
Step 4.

Remove from the heat, add the softened gelatin, and stir 1 minute to dissolve the gelatin thoroughly. Set the bottom of the saucepan in a bowl of cold water and let the gelatin cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, prepare: 1 to 1 ½ cups fruit, such as thinly sliced apples, sliced strawberries, or whole blueberries or raspberries
Step 5.

For a dessert with fruit on the top, divide the fruit among wet 6-ounce bowls or cups, or place it in a wet 4-cup mold, and ladle the gelatin over. If you want the fruit suspended in the dessert, chill the gelatin in a bowl until it is the thickness of unbeaten egg whites. Then stir in the fruit and pour the gelatin into the wet mold(s). Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Step 6.
