Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Oranges
- 85 grams Jelly powder (flavored, like strawberry or lime)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
Instructions
Cut the oranges in half horizontally and remove the pulp using a spoon, leaving empty orange shells. Be careful not to puncture the peel.
Place the empty orange shells on a muffin tray or any stable surface to hold them upright.
Dissolve the jelly powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring thoroughly until fully dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved jelly mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the jelly mixture carefully into the hollowed orange shells, filling them almost to the top.
Place the orange shells in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once the jelly has completely set, use a sharp knife to cut each orange half into two or three wedges, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
