For Vicci and Denise - cjs - 01-31-2011 Do these little goodies have your names all over them or what???? Mojito Jell-O Shots with White Rum and Fresh Mint Instead of combining vodka with flavored Jell-O mix, Michael Symon concocts a refreshing mojito and stirs unflavored gelatin into the mint-and-lime-spiced rum drink to mold a fun and sophisticated version of the lowbrow shot. 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons plus 3/4 teaspoon powdered unflavored gelatin (from 3 envelopes) 1 cup fresh lime juice 1 cup lightly packed mint leaves 1 cup white rum In a small saucepan, cook the water with the sugar over moderate heat until the water is simmering and the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the gelatin over the sugar syrup and whisk constantly over low heat until the gelatin has dissolved, about 1 minute. Put the lime juice and mint leaves in a medium heatproof bowl and pour in the sugar syrup. Let steep for 15 minutes. Stir in the rum. Strain the mojito mixture into a large measuring cup, pressing on the mint leaves with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Arrange 30 small paper cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Carefully pour the mojito Jell-O mixture into the paper cups and refrigerate the shots until they are chilled, about 3 hours. Serve cold. Make Ahead The Jell-O shots can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. ---- I'll take two, please... Re: For Vicci and Denise - foodfiend - 01-31-2011 Wonderful!
