Prepare the Fruit
Wash all fruit thoroughly. Halve the red and green grapes, slice the banana, rinse the blueberries, pit and slice the nectarine, and pit & quarter the plums. Set the prepared fruit aside in a large bowl.
Time: PT10M
Make Watermelon Juice
Cut the watermelon into chunks, discard seeds, and blend until smooth. Pour the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp or use it in a smoothie.
Time: PT5M
Let Juice Settle and Strain
Allow the freshly strained juice to sit for 2–3 minutes so any remaining sediment settles at the bottom. Carefully pour the clear juice into a clean mixing bowl, leaving the sediment behind.
Time: PT3M
Bloom the Gelatin
Add 25 g of instant gelatin to the 500 ml of watermelon juice. Stir gently and let stand for 5–10 minutes until the gelatin swells and becomes grainy.
Time: PT7M
Dissolve the Gelatin
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double‑boiler) or heat gently in the microwave for 20‑30 seconds. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Warm (around 40‑45°C)
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor and balance the sweetness.
Time: PT1M
Assemble the Dessert
Distribute the prepared fruit evenly into the chosen molds or serving glasses. Slowly pour the warm gelatin mixture over the fruit, filling each container about three‑quarters full.
Time: PT5M
Chill Until Set
Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2‑3 hours, or until the gelatin is firm to the touch.
