The Agar Agar Fruit Jelly I Serve at Summer Parties

Instructions

1. 1

   First of all, wash the fruit. Cut any larger fruits into bite size pieces.

2. 2

   Add water to a saucepan.

3. 3

   Allow the water to heat up a bit. Add sugar.

4. 4

   Stir the water till the sugar melts.

5. 5

   When the water is hot, but not boiling, add agar agar powder.

6. 6

   Keep heating the water till the agar agar dissolves completely.

7. 7

   Switch off the heat.

8. 8

   Take 4 small moulds or a bowl or cake tin.

9. 9

   Using a ladle gently pour little of the agar agar liquid. Allow it to set a bit. This will take about 3-5 minutes.

10. 10

    Add the fruits making sure that you place all of them separately, alternating the different colours if possible.

11. 11

    Using the ladle, pour more of the agar agar liquid over the fruits.

12. 12

    Allow the jelly to cool a bit.

13. 13

    If you find any fruit pieces peaking out of the jelly, gently push it down using a skewer.

14. 14

    Cover with cling film and allow it to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

15. 15

    You can either set in individual portions or in one bowl or tin or tray.

16. 16

    Unmold the larger one by running a knife around the edges. Cover the tin/tray with a dish, plate or chopping board. Turn it over and the jelly comes off easily.

17. 17

    You can unmold the smaller ones if you want to. I prefer serving them as it is.
