Instructions
Preparation
- Start by placing your star-shaped silicone molds on a flat surface. Make sure they are clean and dry.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fruit juice and 3 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin powder. Gradually stir the mixture to avoid clumps, using a whisk or mixing spoon.

- Once dissolved, remove the mixture from heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup for sweetness, and stir well.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into the star-shaped molds. Use a funnel or measuring cup for precision to avoid spills.
- Place the filled molds in the refrigerator. Let them set for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
