Growing up in Florida meant that there was an abundance of citrus. The winter heralded the sweetest fruit, picked after the first cold snap. Now that I'm an adult and far from Florida, (where it truly gets cold and often times the winter months are bleak) a little bit of citrus is just what the doctor ordered to add a touch of vibrancy. My mom gave me some pomelos while I was in Florida and Cynthia had some ruby red grapefruit and some oranges that needed to be used, so I made what we call a "fruit jelly." I embedded peeled slices of grapefruit and pomelo in fresh orange juice gelatin. I juiced a pomegranate and used the liquid to help give color.

I'm a vegan so this looks interesting.
It was a delightful treat. I'm thinking of making some with a sparkling wine. I think the bubbles will be little bursts of fun.
Oh, and Jeannie, I don't know if you can eat this if you're a vegan. It's made with gelatin and I'm not sure how fastidious you are, but gelatin is traditionally made from a product derived from horse and bovine hooves.
Oh, I got that. Like I said, "it looks interesting." Never said I'd eat it. Tee Hee. I'm beyond fastidious about what goes into my mouth. You have no idea.
