Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups 100% orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup gelatin powder

Instructions

  1. Simmer juice and honey: In a large saucepan, bring the orange juice and honey to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors and dissolve the honey.
  2. Add gelatin: Slowly pour in the gelatin powder while whisking briskly to prevent any clumps from forming and ensure smooth blending.
  3. Combine ingredients: Turn off the heat and continue whisking the mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved and everything is smoothly combined.
  4. Pour into dish: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into an 8-inch by 8-inch glass dish, spreading it evenly to set.
  5. Chill until set: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 3 hours to allow the jello to fully set, or freeze for at least 1 hour for a firmer texture before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use 100% orange juice without added sugars for best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Whisking briskly when adding gelatin prevents lumps in the final jello.
  • If you prefer a firmer jello, freezing for 1 hour is recommended, but do not freeze for too long to avoid hardness.
  • Honey can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other natural sweeteners if preferred.
  • For a fun twist, add fresh orange slices or zest before setting for extra texture and flavor.
