Direction

Line an 8-by-5-inch loaf pan with foil. Brush it with oil and set aside.

Pour 1 cup water into a bowl; stir in gelatin and let it set for 5 minutes.

Heat juice and 1/2 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved.

Add softened gelatin and stir until melted.

Pour mixture into prepared pan. Let stand at room temperature or chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Unmold jelly unto a work surface and cut into 1-inch pieces with a large, sharp knife or mini cookie cutters.

If you like, roll jellies in more sugar just before serving.
