Clementine Pomegranate Jello Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Put the gelatin in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Leave to soften and swell for about 5 minutes.
• Add boiling water and stir mixture until smooth and free of lumps. (If necessary, set saucepan over low heat for a few minutes until completely dissolved.) Stir in sugar and salt to dissolve. Whisk gelatin mixture thoroughly into clementine juice.
• Rinse a 6-cup bowl or mold with cold water and pour in mixture. Add pomegranate seeds and clementine segments. The pomegranate seeds will fall to the bottom, and the clementine segments will rise to the surface. (If you wish to have the fruit suspended in the gelatin, chill mixture until half-set, then stir in fruit.)
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably 8 to 12 hours. You may prepare and chill the gelatin up to 2 days before serving.
• To unmold, set bowl or mold in a container of warm water for 5 minutes, and use a table knife to loosen edges. Remove bowl from water, place a platter over bowl, invert and unmold. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, remove plastic wrap. Garnish with mint leaves and reserved pomegranate seeds and clementine segments. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup of the pomegranate juice into a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Set aside.
• Place the remaining juice and the sugar into a small saucepan and place over high heat. Bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat and add to the juice and gelatin mixture, stirring to combine. Place the bowl into the refrigerator and chill, just until the mixture begins to set up, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and stir in the seeds. Place into a 2 cup mold of your choice or 4 1/2 cup individual molds and chill until set.

Steps:

• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then whisk together with lime juice, oil, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
• Just before serving, add clementines, jicama, onion, and cilantro and gently toss. Season with salt. Sprinkle with cheese and pumpkin seeds.
