Method

1. 1

   Pour 1/2 cup of fruit juice into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin powder evenly over top. Let sit for 5 minutes to "bloom" and absorb liquid.

2. 2

   Separately heat remaining 1.5 cups of juice in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm (do not boil).

3. 3

   Whisk bloomed gelatin into warm juice until completely dissolved. Stir in maple syrup if using.

4. 4

   Pour mixture into glass containers or silicone molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm. Cut into cubes to serve.
