Ingredients
- 30g Gelatin beef
- 1 cup water cold
- 3 cups Water hot
- 170g Honey raw, local
- 2-3 Tbsp Lemon or lime juiced
- 1 lb Strawberries organic
- 2 Mangos organic
- 2 cups blueberries organic
- 4 cups grapes organic
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 30g Gelatin and 1 cup water.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk the remaining 3 cups Water, 2-3 Tbsp Lemon or lime, and 170g Honey Warm the mixture until the honey has dissolved and remove from the heat.
- Pour the warm mixture into the medium bowl which contains the apple juice and gelatin mixture.
- Whisk these together and place in the fridge for 25 minutes.
- While the gelatin is setting, chop 1 lb Strawberries, 2 Mangos, 2 cups blueberries, and 4 cups grapes.
- Layer the fruit in a bundt pan, starting with the strawberries, then mangos, then blueberries, and last the grapes.
- Pull the cooled gelatin mixture out from the fridge and pour over the fruit.
- Place the bundt pan in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- This next step takes 10 seconds. After your gelatin fruit dessert has set, and you are ready to serve, you will need to unmold it from the bundt pan. To do this, fill a larger container with hot water.
- Then, carefully lower the bundt pan into the water for 10 seconds, making sure to only allow the hot water to touch the outside of the pan.
- After 10 seconds, flip your gelatin fruit dessert onto your serving platter. If it doesn't come out, re-dip it for another 10 seconds to make it come free.
- Once it is on your serving platter, serve immediately or return to the fridge until you are ready to serve!
Notes
- Make sure to not let the gelatin mixture sit in the fridge for longer than 25 minutes. If so, it will begin to set and become hard. If that does happen, just place it back in the pot and heat while whisking continuously. You will keep whisking on medium heat until it has become liquid again. Then pour over your fruit. It should be lukewarm.
- Avoid filling the larger bowl up while the bundt pan is resting inside. This will cause the gelatin to melt longer than 10 seconds and too much will melt. Instead, fill your bowl and when you are ready place the bundt cake into the water for 10 seconds.
- It is important when working with gelatin that you first mix it in a cold liquid. This helps it to hydrate the molecules and open them up and allowing it to gel later. If you first mix it in a hot liquid it will shock the gelatin and thus, prevent it from forming a gel like structure once cooled.
- Mandarin oranges, cherries, and other fruit would make great substitutions in this dessert as well!
- A delicious addition to this would be to top it off with homemade whipped cream!
