Punch Jelly  

1. Start with a punch recipe. Try Empire City Punch, La Cubanita’s Rum Punch, Pilgrim Punch, or Regents Punch on for size. (Note: A noncitrusy kind works best.)

2. For every pint of the punch the original recipe makes, omit 1 cup of water or nonalcoholic liquid, then assemble the punch base as directed, increasing sugar to taste (this helps the jelly set).

3. Bring however many cups of water or liquid you’ve omitted to a boil. For every cup, you need one ¼-ounce packet of gelatin.

4. Bloom each packet in 2 ounces of cold water; add hot liquid; stir to activate.

5. Add gelatin mixture to the punch base.

6. Pour into a Jell-O mold and refrigerate.

Punch: the Delights (and Dangers) of the Flowing Bowl, available online at us.penguingroup.com, $24. For more jellied punch that’s the jam, try Wondrich’s Jellied Bols Genever Punch

"Blue Valentine is the story of love found and love lost told in past and present moments in time. Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship, Dean and Cindy use one night to try and save their failing marriage. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in this honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks."
