Blood Orange Jelly
Servings: 4
A jelly made with fresh fruit and gelatin is a far cry (health wise) from the processed version. Best of all, it really is very easy to make, no more so than my Blood Orange Jelly.
Ingredients
- 500 ml freshly squeezed blood orange juice (or regular orange juice) (2 cups)
- 120 ml coconut water (½ cup)
- 1-2 tbsp rice malt syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 lemon/s -juice
- 3 tbsp grass-fed or organic gelatin
Instructions
- Place the coconut water and sweetener into a small pot and heat for a minute to lukewarm.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid, stirring after each tablespoon. For a traditional jelly set use 2 tablespoons, for a firmer, more gummy-lolly-like consistency, add 3 tablespoons.
- If the gelatin doesn't completely dissolve, you can pop your pot back on the heat for a minute (only heat to luke warm), stirring well.
- Juice your oranges and lemons and mix with the coconut water mixture. Personally, I don't strain any bits of pulp, but feel free to if you want a jelly with a really smooth consistency.
- Pour into a bowl or moulds, and set in the fridge.
Store
- Airtight in the fridge.
