Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups 100% apple juice clear variety, not unfiltered or
  • 100 % white grape juice
  • 4 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 6 Swedish Fish or Gummy Fish

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1 cup of the 100% juice into a medium metal mixing bowl. Sprinkle on the gelatin and set aside to soften. Bring the remaining 3 cups juice to a boil. Pour the hot juice slowly into the softened gelatin, stirring until it is completely dissolved, 1 minute.
  • Refrigerate the gelatin until a thin film clings to the sides of the bowl when stirred, about 45 minutes.
  • Rinse a glass baking dish (8x6x2 inch) with cold water and pour the thickened gelatin into it. If the gelatin has begun to set, spread it out as evenly as possible.
  • One at a time, holding the fish upside down, push them into the gelatin so they look like they are swimming. Place them far enough apart to cut six blocks, each containing a fish.
  • Refrigerate the gelatin until very firm, 3 to 4 hours.
  • To unmold, hold the dish in a pan of hot water for 1 minute, or until the gelatin releases when you bounce the pan.
  • Invert the pan over a plate so the gelatin drops onto it. With a sharp knife, cut the gelatin into 6 blocks, including one fish in each. The blocks are best served the day they are made as the fish start to get gooey after 12 hours.
