How to make fresh strawberry and raspberry gelatin hearts
Easy and simple recipe for making homemade strawberry and raspberry gelatin hearts using fresh fruits and unflavored gelatin.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs of fresh strawberries washed and stems removed
- 8 ounces of fresh raspberries washed
- ½ cup of sugar adjust to taste
- 1 cup of water
- 1 oz / 28 grams / 4 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
- Additional chopped strawberries and whole raspberries to garnish - optional
Instructions
- Blend the strawberries and raspberries with the sugar and water. Taste and adjust the amount of sugar (if desired). Strain the mix; you should have about 4 cups of berry puree.
- Place 1 cup of this puree in a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it to help soften the gelatin.
- Heat the other 3 cups of the strawberry raspberry puree until it is hot and almost boiling.
- Combine the warm strawberry raspberry puree together with the gelatin and the cold puree. Mix until the gelatin is well dissolved.
- Pour the mix into a rectangular glass mold. Another option is to pour the mix into a heart-shaped ice cube tray. Or if you have a heart shaped baking tray (or silicone heart molds) you can make large or medium sized gelatin hearts.
- If desired you can add some chopped strawberries and/or whole raspberries on top.
- Refrigerate for a few hours or until the strawberry raspberry gelatin has set and is firm.
- Use hearts molds to cut out heart shapes and serve or use as desired. Keep refrigerated.
