Preparation

1. Make a simple syrup by mixing the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat, and let cool.
2. Soften the gelatin sheets in enough cold water to cover for about 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess water. If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle it over 1/4 cup cold water, and allow to soften for 5 minutes. In a saucepan, mix the softened gelatin with the juice and sugar syrup. Warm gently, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved.
3. Transfer to a decorative serving dish or four 1/2-cup molds sprayed with flavorless oil. Or divide mixture among four stemmed glasses.
4. Cover and chill for 4 hours or overnight. If using molds, loosen the jell by running a blunt knife around the edges. Invert onto a plate and serve.
