Servings and Ingredients
Ingredients
Serves 32
Quantity | Ingredient | Add |
---|---|---|
9 envelopes unflavored gelatin (2 1/4 oz total) | ||
5 c. fresh or frozen raspberries or mango chunks, thawed if frozen | ||
2 tbsp. lemon juice | ||
⅓ c. agave nectar if using raspberries or 2 tbsp (or more) if using mango |
Directions
- Empty contents of gelatin packets into a small bowl; set aside. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a blender, combine raspberries or mangoes, lemon juice and agave nectar. For mango-flavored cubes, start with 2 tablespoons agave nectar and adjust amount according to desired sweetness. Cover and blend until pureed. If desired, strain mixture to remove seeds.
- Transfer puree to a medium saucepan and bring to just boiling over medium heat. Immediately sprinkle a small amount of gelatin over bubbly mixture, whisking thoroughly to combine well. Continue until all gelatin is added. If gelatin clumps occur, strain mixture to remove any particles.
- Pour mixture into parchment-lined pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Remove gelatin from pan. Peel parchment paper off and cut into 1-inch cubes. Store cubes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
