This Berry Gelatin Mold Recipe is a vintage throw back perfect for serving your summer crowd! It will make the perfect compliment to any cook out or barbecue!
2cupsmixed berriesI used blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries
Instructions
Place water in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin powder, and let powder soak into the water.
Meanwhile, bring the grape juice to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Pour the hot juice over the gelatin while whisking constantly. Keep whisking until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in soda water.
Place the bowl in your fridge for 45 minutes, or until it has thickened up a bit.
Pour the thickened liquid into your jello mold. Place berries into the liquid (they will float) all around the "top" of the mold. Try to mix up the berries so you don't have big sections of just one type.
Cover the jello mold and refrigerate until set, or overnight.
Dip the bottom (smaller) end of the mold in hot water for 10 seconds to help loosen it, then invert the mold onto your serving plate. Voila! I filled the center of my mold with some extra strawberries I had.
Notes
I made my Jello mold the night before serving so it could set up all night, but you want to make sure it chills until set, maybe 4 hours?! This is my first Jello mold. :)You can use any summer berries you like. Add them to the jello until you have a full layer or berries at the top of the mold (when it's upside down, and not yet set).
