Step:
Boil the water and add the agar stirring until dissolved. Different brands have different diluting instructions but the basic rule is 1tsp powder/ 1 tbsp flakes to 8 fl oz / 240 mls liquid. If using leaf gelatine, soak the sheets in cold water and then discard the water, adding straight to the boiling juice
Pour the agar mix into the fruit juice and stir well until thickening
Layer the fruit in the botton of your mould or moulds, I prefer to use individual ones for the children, then pour the liquid on top
Let cool, then refrigerate to set. Citrus fruits will take longer to set so I add an extra quarter teaspoon of powder if I'm using say, orange
To free from the mould set it in hot water for a few seconds.
The texture using agar-agar is not exactly the same as regular gelatine jelly but still highly enjoyable
Ingredients
400 ml fruit juice
50 ml water if using agar-agar and reduce the fruit juice by 50ml
100 grams fruit of choice (optional)
agar-agar powder or flakes as required by pack instruction
(or use 4 sheets Dr Oetkers leaf gelatine)
