Pomegranate Gelatin Food

POMEGRANATE GELATIN

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cold water; let soften, 5 minutes. Place over low heat, and cook until gelatin has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. (When rubbed between your fingers, it should feel smooth.) Add sugar, stirring gently until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes; remove from heat.
• Transfer gelatin mixture to a medium bowl; gradually stir in juices. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart (6-cup) Bundt pan, and skim any foam from surface. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
• To unmold, dip bottom of pan (do not submerge) briefly into hot water; invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Serve.

CLEMENTINE-POMEGRANATE JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the gelatin in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Leave to soften and swell for about 5 minutes.

• Rinse a 6-cup bowl or mold with cold water and pour in mixture. Add pomegranate seeds and clementine segments. The pomegranate seeds will fall to the bottom, and the clementine segments will rise to the surface. (If you wish to have the fruit suspended in the gelatin, chill mixture until half-set, then stir in fruit.)
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably 8 to 12 hours. You may prepare and chill the gelatin up to 2 days before serving.
