Jelly jelly is an easy dessert to make and doesn't take much time to make. The easiest way to make jelly is to use pre-mixed powder; it has sugar and flavor available. However, if you have the time, why not try making jelly from raw materials with the sugar and flavor you like? Gelatin is a healthy ingredient, but you can make it even better by adding fresh fruit.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Make jelly from pre-mixed flour packages

1. 

   
   
   Stir 1 cup of hot water with 1 pack of jelly in a large bowl. Keep stirring until all the sugar is dissolved, taking about 2 to 3 minutes.
   • If you are using a larger bowl, add a 170g pack of jelly and stir with 2 cups of hot water.
   • This recipe uses a seasoned and flavored jelly package. If you are using regular gelatin, consider making jelly from the raw materials.

2. 

   
   
   Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture. If you want the jelly to freeze faster, use a cup of ice. Remember, the jelly will freeze very quickly, so you need to do it quickly.
   • If you are using a larger bowl, stir the 170g jelly pack with 2 cups of cold water.

3. 

   Pour the mixture into the mold you like and add some fruit if desired. After adding the fruit, quickly stir the mixture to mix the fruit. You can also use a baking tray, bowl or some cute jelly mold. Any fruit is fine. Grapes, berries and orange cloves are the best choice!
   • If you are using a baking tray, choose a tray 22x30cm or 20x20cm. This is great if you want to cut the jelly into a cookie mold.
   • If you are using a jelly mold and want to add some fruit, pour in 1.2cm of jelly first, then add the fruit you like. Pour an extra layer of jelly to fill the mold; Don't stir the fruit. This will give the surface a nice look.

4. 

   
   
   Refrigerate the jelly and wait until it has frozen, which should take at least 2 to 3 hours. Depending on the temperature in the refrigerator and the amount of jelly you make, it can take up to a night for the jelly to freeze. Check that the jelly is frozen by pressing it with your finger. If the jelly gets on your finger, it's still not finished. If the hand doesn't stick, the jelly is done.

5. 

   Remove the jelly from the mold and place it on a plate. Dip the mold in water as high as the top of the mold. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the jelly upside down on a plate. If the jelly doesn't slip out easily, you need to keep dipping the mold in the water.
   • If you make jelly in a bowl, you don't need to take it out.
   • If you pour the jelly into a baking tray, you can cut it into squares or use a cookie mold to create a fun shape. If it is difficult to remove the jelly from the tray, place the bottom of the tray in warm water for 10 seconds.
   • If you put the jelly into a large bowl, you can remove it with a scoop to create a round jelly ball. Put the jelly in a bowl to eat.

6. 

   Enjoy the jelly. You can eat it alone or garnish it with whipped cream or a few pieces of fruit. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Make jelly from raw materials

1. 

   Sprinkle gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water (60 ml) and stir. Pour cold water into the measuring cup then sprinkle gelatin. Stir vigorously until gelatin thickens.
   • If you are a vegetarian and want hard jelly then use 2 teaspoons of Agar powder. You can also take 60g of the food additive carrageenan.

2. 

   Stir in 1/4 cup of hot water (60ml). The water should be hot but not boiling. It will dissolve the gelatin. Don't worry because the jelly will freeze right away.

3. 

   Add 1.5 cups (350 ml) of juice. You can also use a juice or a combination of the two for a unique flavor. Apples, grapes, oranges or pineapples are all good choices.
   • Be careful when using pineapple juice. Some people have found that the enzyme in pineapples prevents the jelly from completely freezing.
   • Add sweetness to the jelly. If the jelly is not sweet enough, add a sweetener like agave nectar, sugar or sweetener sugar.

4. 

   Pour mixture into molds you like and add some fruit if desired. Any type of fruit is suitable for adding to jelly, including blueberries, oranges, pineapple or strawberries. After adding the fruit, stir the honey quickly.
   • If you want to cut the jelly into funny cubes or shapes, you can pour the jelly into a 22x30cm or 20x20cm baking tray.
   • If you are using a jelly mold and want to add some fruit, add 1.2cm of jelly first, then add the fruit you like. Pour an extra layer of jelly to fill the mold; Don't stir the fruit. This makes the jelly look more beautiful.

5. 

   Cover the jelly and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours. You can leave it on overnight. Check that the jelly is frozen by pressing it with your finger. If the jelly gets on your finger, it is still incomplete and needs extra cooling. If the hand doesn't stick, the jelly is done.

6. 

   Remove the jelly from the mold and enjoy. You can eat jelly alone or with whipped cream. You can also decorate with fruit.
   • If you freeze jelly in a baking tray, you can either cut it into cubes or use a cookie cutter to create a fun look.
   • If you freeze jelly in a bowl, try using a scoop to make a round jelly.
   • If you freeze the jelly in the mold, soak it in warm water as high as the top of the mold. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the jelly upside down on a plate. If the jelly doesn't slip out easily, keep dipping the mold in water.
