Fuzzy Navel Jelly Shot Recipe




Peach Layer
¾ cup peach juice or peach nectar (strained through a fine sieve to remove solids)
¼ cup peach schnapps

1 envelope plain Knox gelatin


In a saucepan, sprinkle the peach nectar with gelatin. Allow gelatin to soak for a minute or two. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved, approximately 5 minutes. Add the schnapps, stirring well, and pour into pan or molds. Refrigerate until set (about an hour). Prepare orange layer.


Orange Layer
1 1/3 cups orange juice (strained through a fine sieve to remove solids)


2/3 cup peach schnapps
2 envelopes plain Knox gelatin


In a saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice. Let soak for a minute or so. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved (approximately 5 minutes). Add the schnapps, stirring well. Pour over the set peach layer. Return to refrigerator and allow to set, several hours or overnight.

To serve, cut into desired shapes. Makes 24-30 shots

Note: Make sure to strain the orange juice (even if using a "pulp free" variety) to ensure a silky-textured shot.  If your orange juice isn't top-notch, try mixing in a tablespoon or two of orange juice concentrate.

I'm hoping to use rubber molds in the shape of pumpkins for a Halloween party. How much extra gelatin do I need to use? Also, each mold holds about half a cup of water. Any guesses about how many molds I'll need for this recipe?

Hi Nse, this is probably too late to help you (sorry!!!) but am guessing you figured it out anyway. This recipe is a 3 cup volume, so if you are using 1/2 cup molds, it will fill six mold cavities. XOXOX M.
