Instructions
- Pour 2 cups filtered water into a medium saucepan without heating.

- Pour the strained gelatin mixture into 8 small glass serving cups or 1 large glass container.
- Distribute 1 tablespoon of mixed fresh berries into each cup.
- Sprinkle the Himalayan pink salt evenly across the top surface.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely set and firm.
- Remove from the refrigerator 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for the best texture.
Notes
Bloom the gelatin properly before heating to avoid clumps. Do not overheat the mixture, and chill for at least 6 hours for the firm, bouncy texture that makes this recipe satisfying.
