Jurassic Park – Yuzu Gelee with Asian Pear

In a world of advancing technology, it seems anything is possible – But humans coexisting with the greatest prehistoric creatures of all time? Not a problem for Dr. Hammond, who with a team of creative scientists built a thriller “amusement park” full of living, breathing dinosaurs. But little does Hammond and his staff know of the deathly capabilities of these genetically engineered reptiles.

Upon visiting an excavation site in the Badlands of Montana, Hammond invites paleontologists Dr. Allen, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm (as well as his two grandchildren) to join him at dino-island, Jurassic Park.

At first, his guests are in awe as they get a general survey of the park as well as an up-close view of a herd of dinosaurs. In store for the park’s first visitors, however, is more than just an awesome field trip, but a test for their survival.

For your inner-adventurist and sci-fi nerd, don’t miss this zoological thriller. But skip the popcorn this time. Instead, treat yourself to a bowl of green jello (or Yuzu in this recipe), what the visitors of Jurassic Park ate when they thought they were safe.

Ingredients:

• 1 box/ 1oz. of Powdered Gelatin
• 4 Cups Yuzu Juice
• 2 Asian Pears, peeled and diced into small cubes
• 2-4 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 1 bunch, about 20 Green Grapes, sliced into thin discs
• 1 shallow Baking Pan or 6 Souffle dishes
• Plastic-Wrap

Instructions:

1. Follow the directions on the Gelatin package. Dissolve the Gelatin into 1 cup cold juice. Heat to a boil the remaining juice and combine. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. In the Baking Dish or Souffle dishes lay in a sheet of Plastic-Wrap to help remove the gelatin later. Spray in water to the inside of the dish to help adhere the Plastic-Wrap and to smooth out any creases.
2. Pour in the Gelee mixture and then add the Pear pieces. Leave about a ¼ inch or room on the top; this will be where the grape slices go. Layer in the Grapes in an overlapping manner, starting from the inside out. Chill the Gelee until firm, an hour or more. Carefully remove the Gelee and slice or cut into squares if necessary. Garnish with sweet and tart fruits such as Berries and Grapefruit. Enjoy for a refreshing end to a meal or a healthy dessert.
