Directions

1. Warm half of the pear juice in the microwave or on the stove until warm but not boiling.
2. Pour the other half of the pear juice in a bowl, then sprinkle evenly with the gelatin.
3. Let the gelatin sit in the juice to soften while waiting for the other half to warm.
4. Stir the warmed juice into the bowl until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
5. Pour the mixture into small cups or into a dish.
6. Refrigerate until set (2-3 hours).
