J Is for Juicy Jiggly Cups

Juicy Jiggly Cups

Here’s what you’ll need to make four cups of jiggly fun:

• 4 12-ounce clear cups, glass or plastic
• 4 cups 100% apple juice
• 2 packets unflavored gelatin
• 1 ½ cups pears, cut into bite-size chunks

Directions:

1. Heat three cups of juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Sprinkle gelatin into a small bowl with remaining cup of juice.
3. When juice comes to a boil, remove from heat and stir into gelatin/juice mixture with a whisk. Mix until gelatin dissolves.
4. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Pour cooled mixture into clear cups.
5. Refrigerate again for one to two hours. Test thickness by dropping a pear chunk into one of the cups. If the pear drops to the bottom of the cup, refrigerate cups a little longer. If the pear floats in the gelatin, move to the next step.
6. Stir a handful of pear chunks into each cup of gelatin.
7. Refrigerate until firm.
