  • 2 envelopesunflavored gelatin, about 1/4 oz (7 g) each
  • 1 cupcold water
  • 1 cupboiling water
  • 2 tbsplemon juice
  • 1/2 cupfresh raspberries

Notes

  • Fresh pineapple, kiwi, papaya and fig contain enzymes that stop gelatin from setting. Cooked or canned versions work.
  • Gelatin is an animal product, so this recipe is not vegetarian or vegan.
  • If it has not set after four hours, give it more time. If it is still runny, you can warm it gently until liquid, stir in more bloomed gelatin and chill it again.
