The How To:

  1. Heat juice and gelatin in small sauce pan over low heat until gelatin is dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and add Orange Essential Oil, Ningxia Red and honey.
  3. Stir well.
  4. Pour into molds
  5. Place into refrigerator to chill for an hour at least.
  6. To remove from mold gently run warm water on the backsides of the mold for about one minute. Gently peel back mold from the sides of the star to help it lift out easier. Pop out of silicone tray carefully to release the star.
