Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Over a bowl, cut the grapefruit in half, and section it, reserving all juice. Cut sections into small pieces. Remove as much of the white membrane or pith as possible. Peel navel oranges and tangerines; then, over same bowl, trim away pith. Separate into sections, and cut into small pieces, reserving all juice. Strain fruit, and set aside. To reserved juice, add juice of temple oranges.

  2. Step 2

    Toss fruit with honey and mint, and divide among 4 small bowls. Put juices in a small saucepan, and sprinkle gelatin over surface. Wait a couple of minutes, then warm mixture over low heat, stirring to dissolve gelatin. Cool slightly, then pour mixture over fruit.

  3. Step 3

    Refrigerate for about an hour, or until liquid in bowls gels. Serve, garnished with additional mint.

I grew up eating Jell-O occasionally, and I just read atlasobscura's article, How America Embraced Aspics ... . Of course, I then had to search "aspic" on NYT Cooking. I found only ten recipes, one of which is not an aspic, and it's funny how there are no pictures of these highly visual dishes. As atlasobscura says, "this former food of the future is now a subject of derision and morbid fascination." I may have to make some!

Fine, just basically came out seeming like one of those 50s jello fruit things

Well yeah... the 50s jello fruit things are aspics
