GOOD TO KNOW It will come as no surprise that gelatin desserts are a calorie-counter’s dream. What you may not know is that there are elegant ways of preparing—and presenting—the nostalgic desserts. Form the gelatins in pretty single serve glasses or in a loaf pan for unmolding and slicing.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup grape juice; let soften, 5 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat sugar with 1/4 cup grape juice in a small saucepan over medium-high, stirring, until dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in softened gelatin until dissolved, then stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups grape juice.
Step 3
Place berries in a 4-by-8-inch (6-cup) loaf pan; pour gelatin mixture over, pressing berries gently to submerge completely (remove a few berries if necessary). Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours (or up to 2 days, covered with plastic wrap).
Step 4
To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hot water about 5 seconds. Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Slice to serve.
