Separate into sections and cut into small pieces if necessary, again being sure to catch all the juice. Strain the fruit. To the reserved juice, add the squeezed juice of the juice oranges.
- 2. Toss the fruits with the honey and mint and put them in 4 small bowls. Put the juice in a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Wait a couple of minutes, then warm the mixture over low heat, stirring to dissolve the gelatin. Cool slightly, then pour the juice mixture over the fruits in the bowls.

SPICY LEMON-MINT JELLY
This easy jelly, which you can store in your refrigerator for a week or so, adds a jazzy note to lamb, pork, even an oily fish. The mint's coolness is balanced by tart lemon, and a tone of red-pepper flakes answers them both. Think of it as a musical riff on the old staid green mint jelly.

Steps:
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest (yellow part only) from 4 of the lemons. Cut the zest into fine julienne. Remove the peel and pith from all of the lemons and cut the sections out from between the membranes.
- Place the julienned lemon peel, lemon sections, water, sugar and pepper flakes in a large nonreactive saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat slightly and simmer for 20 minutes. Place a small saucer in the freezer.
- Add the mint sprigs to the mixture and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Check the jelly by placing a spoonful on the saucer and returning it to the freezer for about 5 minutes. If the mixture jells when you push your finger through it, it is ready. If not, simmer a little longer and test again.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Remove the mint sprigs and stir in the chopped mint. Place in a clean container and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use fresh citrus fruits for the best flavor. Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are all great options.
- If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. Just be sure to use less, as dried mint is more concentrated.
- If you want a sweeter Jell-O, add more honey to taste. You can also use other sweeteners, such as sugar or stevia.
- To make the Jell-O even more refreshing, you can chill it for a few hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Citrus Jell-O with Honey and Mint is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing dessert, give this recipe a try!
