Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh fruit (strawberries, mango, blueberries, or any fruit of your choice)

• ½ cup water (optional, for a smoother consistency)

• 1 tsp agar agar powder (or as per package instructions)

• Lime zest (optional, for a citrusy punch)

Instructions

1. Blend the Fruit

Wash and chop your fruit of choice. Blend it into a smooth puree. If the fruit is too thick, add a little water to help with blending.

2. Strain the Puree

For a smooth jelly texture, strain the puree using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This step is optional but helps remove seeds and pulp.

3. Heat the Puree

Pour the fruit puree into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

4. Add Agar Agar

Dissolve the agar agar powder in a small amount of warm water (as per package instructions). Slowly stir it into the simmering fruit puree. Keep stirring for 2-3 minutes to ensure it dissolves completely.

5. Add Lime Zest (Optional)

For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of lime zest and mix well.

6. Pour & Set

Pour the mixture into molds or a shallow dish. Let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm.

7. Enjoy!

Once set, cut into cubes, use cookie cutters for fun shapes, or serve as is. Enjoy your healthy, homemade fruit jelly!
