• Put the agar agar into a pan with the hot water, bring to the boil & simmer rapidly for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour the agar agar into the fruit juice & mix. Pour over the cubed fruit in the moulds & refrigeratee until set.

AGAR AGAR FRUIT JELLY

Steps:

• First of all, wash the fruit. Cut any larger fruits into bite size pieces.
• Add water to a saucepan.
• Allow the water to heat up a bit. Add sugar.
• Stir the water till the sugar melts.
• When the water is hot, but not boiling, add agar agar powder.
• Keep heating the water till the agar agar dissolves completely.
• Switch off the heat.
• Take 4 small moulds or a bowl or cake tin.
• Using a ladle gently pour little of the agar agar liquid. Allow it to set a bit. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the fruits making sure that you place all of them separately, alternating the different colours if possible.
• Using the ladle, pour more of the agar agar liquid over the fruits.
• Allow the jelly to cool a bit.
• If you find any fruit pieces peaking out f the jelly, gently push it down using a skewer.
• Cover with cling film and allow it to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• You can either set in individual portions or in one bowl or tin or tray.
• Unmold the larger one by running a knife around the edges. Cover the tin/tray with a dish, plate chopping board. Turn it over and the jelly comes off easily.
• You can unmold the smaller ones if you want to. I prefer serving them as it is.
