    Watermelon Jello
    Move jello beyond retro dessert with the summery flavor of watermelon.

    Ingredients
    3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
    3/4 cup sugar
    4 cups watermelon juice
    Watermelon balls (use a melon baller)
    Sweetened whipped cream
    1/4 cup thinly sliced mint leaves

    Preparation
    1. Sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cold water in a small glass bowl and let stand 1 minute. Microwave on high until hot and gelatin is melted, about 1 minute. Add sugar, whisking until dissolved. Whisk mixture into watermelon juice. Divide mixture among 6 glass dishes (about 8 oz. each). Chill until set, about 2 hours.
    2. Top each serving with a few melon balls, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of mint.

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
