Homemade Jello Recipe With Fresh Fruit Food

HOMEMADE JELLO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of the juice then add the gelatin and mix to combine. Allow to bloom and set aside.
• Puree fruit in a high speed blender. To make 3/4 cup of puree, you need about double the quantity of fruit. We used almost 2 cups of whole fruit.
• For the strawberry flavor, place 3/4 cups of the puree and the remaining 1 cup of juice into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly over medium heat.
• Take off the heat and add in the bloomed gelatin and honey.
• Whisk to combine until the gelatin is melted.
• Pour into a heat proof container and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Cover and place into the fridge to set overnight. Note: your jello may set after a few hours. If you'd like to eat it the same day, check after 2 hours if it has set. If desired, you can cut the jello into small squares for serving.

HOW TO ADD FRUIT TO JELLO: 14 STEPS (WITH PICTURES) - WIKIHOW

Steps:

• Pour a 3 ounces (85 g) box of gelatin powder into a bowl. Use the entire contents of a box of any flavor dessert gelatin. Jello is just one brand name for dessert gelatin and you can buy different brands at your local supermarket.
• Add 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water and stir until the powder dissolves. Boil a cup of water and pour it into the bowl with the gelatin powder. Stir until the powder dissolves entirely. This will take about 2 minutes. Use a fork, whisk, or rubber spatula to stir the powder.
• Add 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water to the mix and stir for a few seconds. The cold water will help get the gelatin to the right temperature and dilute it. If you are using canned fruit in your dessert, you can use the juices from the fruit can, instead of cold water. Since the gelatin powder is already dissolved, this won't take as much stirring.

HOMEMADE JELLO RECIPE WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Add the berries, water and sugar to a large pan. Let it come up to a simmer on medium heat, but once it does, reduce the temperature to low and let it sit right under simmering point for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Meanwhile, find moulds or containers for the jello. I use some small ramekins, but you may also pour it into larger bowls so people can take as much or as little as they want.
• Once the berries have cooked for 30 minutes, take them off the heat. Pour the mixture through a sieve and just let it drip. Do not help with a spoon or spatula, this will make a clearer jello
• Add gelatin sheets to a bowl of cold water for at least 5 minutes to soften up the leaves. If you're using gelatin powder, you mix the powder with 3/4 cup cold water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until it gets thick.
• For gelatin leaves, you take one leaf and gently press out the water from it, add it to the berries and stir. Continue with the rest of the gelatin sheets. For gelatin powder, once its thick you may stir it into the berries.
• Add this jello mixture to your prepare moulds/ramekins/bowls. Let it cool to room temperature before covering and cooling completely in the fridge. It should set overnight, but often a few hours is enough.
• Delicious with a few extra fresh berries and a vanilla custard sauce!
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.

EASY FRUIT-JUICE GELATIN

Steps:

• Place 1 cup juice in a glass bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin. Meanwhile, bring remaining 3 cups juice to a boil. Pour boiling juice over gelatin-juice mixture, and stir until gelatin dissolves completely. Pour into 5-ounce juice glasses, which make great single servings. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.

HOMEMADE "JELLO" (GELATINE)

Steps:

• Soften gelatine in 1/2 cup of the juice.
• Put remaining juice into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat and add softened gelatine and sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
• Add fresh fruit, if using and pour into mold and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.

FRUIT JELLO DELIGHT

Steps:

• Boil the one cup of water and add it to the Jello in a bowl or container.
• Stir for about 2 minutes, until completely dissolved.
• Add one cup cold water, stir.
• Put 1 cup chopped banana into bottom of the bowl.
• Chill in refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, or until a thick jelly-like consistency.
• Add other fruit into Jello, spread evenly.
• Place back into refrigerator for about 2-3 more hours.
• Enjoy!

FRESH HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JELLO

Steps:

• In a saucepan cook the strawberries and 1 cup sugar over medium-low heat. If you are using fresh strawberries you may need to add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the fruit is softened. Frozen and VERY ripe fruit will cook faster.
• Use a regular or immersion hand blender to puree the fruit. Strain the seeds and return to the pot. Using a chinoise strainer will make the job go much faster.
• In a small bowl, pour the 3 packets of gelatin over 1/2 cup of water, making sure no dry powder remains. Let the gelatin sit until it "blooms" and absorbs all the water.
• Heat the strained puree to a simmer, turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is melted and evenly distributed in the puree.
• Choose a mold that fits at least 5 cups. I used a silicone mold, such as the Lekue Imperial Monarch Mold.
• Fill the mold with 3/4 of the puree. Set the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until a skin is formed on the top.
• Pour half the remaining puree into a bowl. Whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and add it to the puree in the bowl.
• Gently fold the cream into the puree.
• Add the cream/puree mixture to the mold, refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until it has set slightly. Add the remaining strawberry puree to the top. Set in the refrigerator for about 3 hours or until well set.
• To un-mold the jello: fill a large vessel with hot water.
• Dip the jello into the hot water, being careful not to get water over the lip of the mold. You may need to use a knife to carefully separate the edge of the mold from the jello. Let the mold sit in the water for 15 to 30 seconds. Set the jello on a platter.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Use a thin bladed knife dipped in hot water to cut the jello.

FRUIT JELLO CUPS

Steps:

• If using fresh fruit, clean and peel hard skinned fruits (apples, bananas, pears, oranges, etc, melons, etc) and cut into small chunks. Use your choice of anti-browning agent and sprinkle, then toss to coat well the cut fruit. Set aside.
• Boil fruit juice and sugar in a microwave safe container in the microwave until boiling. don't allow to much liquid to be lost to steam. Cover in microwave if you can. Stir well, making sure all sugar has dissolved. If using Splenda, do not add at this point.
• Meanwhile, open can of fruit and drain juices into a separate medium sized non metal bowl.
• Pour drained juices into a measuring cup, add Splenda and fill to 1 cup mark with fruit juice of your choice (remember, no real pineapple or kiwi juice.artificial flavoring is ok).
• In the non metal bowl you already used, pour boiling fruit juice mixture and sprinkle gelatin in slowly while stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
• Line up your cups and pour mixture to about half (using the cups I mentioned above). When all mixture is poured in, add 1 tiny drop to each container you want to color and mix with a spoon. The extreme colors are very bright/dark and I think the pink and green/yellow turn out the prettiest with the fruit. Don't use big drops or you wont be able to see the fruit as well. Sometimes I split one drop between two by putting one drop in one container and then pouring the mixture back and forth in the separate containers till desired color is achieved. The regular food coloring has nice Christmas colors. The kids love this part!
• After you are happy with your colors, add about 2 TB of the chunked fruit to your cups. It will sink to the bottom and raise the level of the gelatin to within 1/4" of the top.
• Cover and chill about 1 hour.
• Feel free to use different kinds of juice and fruit. Each container has about 2 servings of fruit. This makes a firm set.if you prefer a softer set, add 1/8 cup more cold fruit juice.

• Stir fruit into remaining gelatin. Spoon into 6-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 15 min. or until set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to finger when touched and should mound.)
