Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe mangoes
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mango flesh into small pieces and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, puree the mango pieces until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mango puree.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and agar-agar powder. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to hydrate.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir constantly to ensure the agar-agar powder dissolves completely.
Once boiling, add the granulated sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved.
Reduce the heat to low and add the mango puree to the saucepan. Mix well until the puree is fully incorporated.
Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into molds or a shallow dish to set. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate the mango jelly for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
To serve, gently run a knife along the edges of the mold or dish and invert the jelly onto a serving plate. Enjoy your delightful low sodium mango jelly!
