Ingredients
Strawberry & lime
1 cup strawberries (frozen is fine)
1/4 cup water x2
1 T lime juice
1 T maple syrup (optional)
2 T gelatin*
Blueberry
1 cup blueberries (Frozen is fine)
1/4 cup water x2
1 T maple syrup (optional)
2 T gelatin*
Peaches
1 cup peaches (i used tinned – rinsed and drained)
1/4 cup water x2
1 T maple syrup (optional)
2 T gelatin*
*(you can use up to 4 T gelatin for a firmer jelly / lolly like consistency)
what to do
Put the fruit, one lot of 1/4 cup water and sweetener for your your chosen flavour in a small pot and heat through.
While its heating add the gelatin to the other 1/4 cup water and stir. It will expand and soak up the water. Add this to the hot pot and stir through until dissolved.
Remove from the heat and blend the mixture in a blender, or with a handheld blender.
Pour into moulds, or line a tray with cling wrap and pour into the tray to cut into shapes when its set.
Set in the freezer for 20 – 60 mins depending on the size, or overnight. This part is essential for making sure the jellies come cleanly out of the moulds, especially if its a fiddly mould – like a lego man! you can store them in the freezer and defrost over night in the fridge before needed, or store in the fridge for a couple of days.
They should be able to handle being at room temperature for a couple hours, but are nicest when cold.
