How to Make fully natural jelly with a collagen boost

1. Using a sharp chef’s knife on a sturdy cutting board, carefully cut the oranges in half horizontally. Scoop out the pulp using a small spoon or melon baller and save the pulp for smoothies or juice.
2. Rinse the empty orange halves under cold water using a colander to remove any remaining pulp. Pat them dry slightly with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Place the dried orange halves upright in a small bowl or on a plate to keep them steady while you prepare the gelatin mixture.
4. Measure out 3 tablespoons of orange juice using a liquid measuring cup and pour it into a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the juice using a measuring spoon and let it sit for 3–5 minutes to absorb the liquid and soften.
5. Pour the remaining orange juice into a small saucepan and gently warm it over low heat using a stovetop. Do not let it boil. Add the softened gelatin mixture to the warm juice and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until fully dissolved.
6. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared orange halves using a liquid measuring cup or small ladle. Optionally, add a small piece of saved orange pulp for decoration.
7. Place the filled orange peel cups on a plate or tray and transfer them to the refrigerator. Chill for 2–3 hours until the jelly sets completely.
8. Using a sharp paring knife, optionally trim the edges of the orange peel cups for a neat look. Serve chilled directly in the orange peel cups as a healthy and beautiful dessert.
