Health benefits of Sparkling Fruit Gelées Recipe | Myrecipes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

3 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 2/3 cups sparkling wine, divided
2/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 1/3 cups fresh blueberries
2/3 cup sliced banana
2/3 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

Sprinkle gelatin over 2/3 cup wine in a small saucepan, and let stand 5 minutes. Place saucepan over low heat; cook 5 minutes or until gelatin dissolves, stirring constantly.
