Mojito Jelly

Preparation Line the bottom and sides of an oiled 8-inch square glass baking dish with a piece of plastic wrap, smoothing out wrinkles. Sprinkle gelatin over 3/4 cup water in a 2-quart saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in rum, sugar, and mint, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, while mint steeps, 20 minutes. Stir in lime juice and remaining cup water, then pour through a fine sieve into baking dish and chill, covered, until firm, at least 8 hours. While jelly is chilling, halve limes lengthwise and scoop out all flesh, reserving it for another use. Chill lime bowls, wrapped in plastic wrap. Place a cutting board over baking dish and invert jelly onto board. Peel off plastic wrap and cut jelly into 1/2-inch cubes. Spoon into lime bowls. Cooks' note:Jelly and lime bowls can be chilled, separately, up to 24 hours.Each serving about 142 calories and less than 1 gram fat Nutritional analysis provided by Gourmet
