Creating fruit jelly cups is straightforward, requiring only a few ingredients:
- 2 cups fruit juice (your choice): Opt for natural fruit juices like orange, apple, or mixed berry for a burst of flavor.
- 2 tbsp gelatin powder: For a plant-based alternative, use agar-agar.
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup: Adjust to taste for sweetness.
- Fresh fruit pieces: Choose from berries, mango, or oranges to add texture and extra flavor.
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your own delicious fruit jelly cups:
- Heat the Juice: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of the fruit juice until it is warm but not boiling. This will help dissolve the gelatin powder effectively.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm juice and stir continuously until it is completely dissolved. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect jelly consistency.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the remaining cup of fruit juice and your choice of sweetener—either honey or maple syrup. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Prepare the Cups: Place your fresh fruit pieces into small cups. This adds texture and a burst of natural flavor to the jelly.
- Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the juice mixture over the fruit pieces in each cup. Ensure that the fruit is evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. This chilling period allows the jelly to set properly.
