This old-fashioned gelatin is sure to bring back memories of Christmases past. Itâs a refreshing addition to a heavy meal. Ingredients:
3 large pink grapefruit |
1 envelope unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar |
1 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber |
leaf lettuce leaves, optional |
Directions:
1. Cut each grapefruit in half; remove sections, reserving juice. Set sections aside. Add enough water to juice to measure 1-1/2 cups.
2. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, salt and grapefruit juice mixture. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in vinegar. Chill until slightly thickened, about 1 hour.
4. Fold in cucumber and grapefruit sections. Transfer to a 1-qt. mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until firm.
5. Unmold onto a lettuce-lined serving plate if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
