Sparkling Raspberry Dessert Gelatin Recipes

HONEY-RASPBERRY GELATINS

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Set aside to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine frozen raspberries, sugar, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until berries are broken down, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add honey and softened gelatin mixture; stir until dissolved.
• Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup (discard solids); stir in enough water to yield 4 cups of liquid. Divide among six serving glasses. Chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days. Garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.
