Grape Gelatin With Blueberries

Ingredients

1 envelope (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup white grape juice
2 cups fresh blueberries, picked over and rinsed

Directions

1. In a large bowl, sprinkle 1 envelope unflavored gelatin over cold water; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil over medium-high. Pour over gelatin mixture; stir in grape juice.
3. Divide blueberries evenly among four 6-ounce serving glasses; pour in gelatin mixture, pressing blueberries to submerge them completely.
4. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour (and up to 5 days, covered).

Serves 4.
