Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened cranberry juice
• 1 cup pomegranate juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 packets unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of unsweetened cranberry juice and 1 cup of water. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the surface and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

After the gelatin has bloomed, place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the gelatin has completely dissolved, about 3 to 4 minutes. Make sure not to let the mixture boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the remaining 1 cup of unsweetened cranberry juice, the pomegranate juice, and honey until fully combined.

Step 4

Arrange half of the fresh raspberries evenly in the bottom of a loaf pan or a mold of your choice.

Step 5

Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the raspberries in the mold.

Step 6

Once the raspberries are set in the liquid, scatter the remaining fresh raspberries on top and gently press them into the gelatin with a spoon.

Step 7

Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate the gelatin for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.

Step 8

Once set, run a knife along the edges of the mold to loosen the gelatin. To unmold, place a serving platter on top of the mold and invert it quickly. Tap gently if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish the top with fresh mint leaves before serving. Slice and serve cold.
