The tiny florets here are made from peach, pear, and guava nectar, but you can use any fruit juice you like except pineapple, kiwi, and papaya, which won't gel properly.

Ingredients

Makes 16 "gummies"

1 cup fruit juice (pure juice-not a fruit-flavored drink) or nectar, such as Goya, Mott's, or Kern's, chilled or at room temperature
1 1/4-ounce package gelatin
  1. Step 1

    1. Lightly coat 16 tartlet molds or mini-muffin tins with oil.

    Step 2

    2. Place 1/4 cup of the juice in a medium bowl and sprinkle in the gelatin. Let sit for 1 minute.

    Step 3

    3. Meanwhile, in a small pan, bring the remaining juice to a boil. Add it to the gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved.

    Step 4

    4. Spoon the mixture into the molds. Chill in the refrigerator until set, 2 hours.

    Step 5

    5. Pop the tartlets out. Serve them cold or at room temperature within 2 hours, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tip

You can buy plastic or metal tartlet molds ($1.50 and up each, surlatable.com). An 8-by-8-inch baking dish also works-once the whole thing is set, just cut it into squares with a knife, or into shapes with a cookie cutter.

  • If I could give 0 forks, I would have done it here! This recipe is terrible. Firstly, the amounts make no sense - I doubled the juice and barely had 20. But I was glad when I tasted them that I didn't have any more - if I wanted Jello, I'd make it, and without having to buy expensive fruit nectars!! This is the first epi recipe I've ever made (and I make lots) that I think is truly awful. It does not deserve a place on this site.

  • I used agar agar, because we are vegetarian, and they came out nicely.

  • Kind of disappointing. They look so beautiful in the photo and they look beautiful when made, but the texture isn't as palatable as the appearance. I might try with different nectars. Perhaps lighter in color or translucent. I used blackcurrant, peach and blood orange. I think I might try watermelon, honeydew and pear.
