Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 2 cups 100% pure pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup cold water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. Slice the strawberries thinly and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, pour 1 cup of pomegranate juice and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the surface. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to let the gelatin bloom.
Step 3
Once the gelatin has bloomed, turn the heat to low and gently heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the gelatin dissolves completely.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 cup of pomegranate juice, 1 cup of cold water, honey, and lemon juice into the saucepan. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved and everything is well mixed.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 6
Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly in a 6-cup capacity gelatin mold or individual serving dishes.
Step 7
Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Step 8
Refrigerate the gelatin mold or dishes for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Step 9
Once set, unmold the gelatin by briefly dipping the mold in warm water to loosen the edges. If using individual dishes, serve as is.
Step 10
Slice or portion the gelatin into individual servings and enjoy your heart-healthy treat!
