Chia-Fruit Juice Jello

The natural fruit juice and gelatin make this jello 100% foolproof and an excellent dessert for either adults or kids. After making this jello at home, you will never buy an already prepared fruit gelatin packet in the market again.
Ingredients:
4 cups of a combination of unsweetened juices (your choice)*
1 tbs chia seeds
1 tbs honey
1 tbs gelatin powder (for firm jello, add another 1/2 tbs)

Garnish with fresh fruit, such as strawberries, grape and blueberries

Directions:
Place chia seeds in 1 cup of unsweetened juice and let it sit for 15 minutes to create a gel. Add the rest of the juice and honey into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir in gelatin powder and the chia seeds gel in a cup of juice. Bring it back to a simmer or until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat and pour the gelatin mixture into a serving cup. Let chill for few hours. Serve fruit jello with fresh fruit.

* I use 2 cups of red ruby grapefruit juice and 2 cups of cranberry juice.
