Real fruit jellies are a delightful and refreshing treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Made with natural fruits, these jellies are not just flavorful but also packed with essential nutrients. In this recipe, we incorporate blueberries, raspberries, orange juice, and apples to create a colorful and healthy dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Combine the blueberries, raspberries, chopped apples, and water in a large saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are soft and have released their juices, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the fruit mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the mixture to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan if you used a countertop blender.
- While the fruit mixture is still warm, sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface.
- Let it sit for a minute to bloom (absorb the liquid).
- Stir the gelatin into the fruit mixture until fully dissolved.
- Add the orange juice to the mixture and stir well to combine.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, for another 5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil; just ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds or a lined baking dish for later cutting.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator.
- Place the molds or baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the jellies are fully set and firm.
- Once set, remove the jellies from their molds or cut into desired shapes if using a baking dish.
- Serve immediately or store the jellies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Ensure all fruits are ripe and fresh for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- If you prefer a sweeter jelly, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
- When blending fruits, make sure to blend until smooth to avoid any chunks in the final jelly.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds from the raspberries if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly before adding the fruit purée to retain the color and nutritional properties of the fruits.
Making real fruit jellies is a simple and enjoyable way to indulge in a healthy dessert.
