Lemon Gelatin with Raspberries

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Remove all peel from lemons with a vegetable peeler. Boil peel and 1 3/4 cups water in a 2-quart saucepan until water is bright yellow, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

   Step 2

   Sprinkle gelatin over remaining 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and let stand 2 minutes to soften.

   Step 3

   Squeeze 2/3 cup lemon juice from lemons into a glass measure, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in sugar until dissolved. Add water, then stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved.

   Step 4

   Pour about 1/4 cup lemon mixture into each glass and chill until set, about 2 hours. Reserve remaining lemon mixture at room temperature.

   Step 5

   Spoon some raspberries over each serving, then top with reserved lemon mixture and chill until set, about 3 hours more.
