Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh kiwi
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2.5 teaspoons Gelatin powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Peel the kiwis and roughly chop them into small pieces.
Place the chopped kiwi into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Strain the kiwi puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and achieve a smooth texture. You should have about 1.5 cups of kiwi juice-puree.
In a small bowl, add 2.5 teaspoons of gelatin powder to 1/4 cup of cold water, stir, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot sugar mixture and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then, mix in the strained kiwi puree. If desired, add 2 drops of green food coloring to enhance the color of the jelly.
Pour the mixture into clean and sterilized jars, bowls, or a jelly mold.
Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Let it set for at least 4-5 hours or until firm.
Serve chilled as a light dessert, use it as a spread, or add it to other treats as a fruity topping.
