Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml fresh orange juice
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 10 g gelatin powder
- 50 ml cold water
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 orange orange segments
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing the gelatin mixture. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 50 ml of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes spongy.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine fresh orange juice and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
Add the prepared gelatin to the orange juice mixture, and stir until the gelatin has fully dissolved.
Once everything is well combined, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add in the orange zest for extra flavor and stir to distribute it evenly.
Carefully pour the orange jelly mixture into serving glasses or a large mold, depending on your preference.
Distribute the fresh orange segments evenly among the serving glasses or mold to add texture and flavor to the jelly.
Allow the jelly to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover the containers with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly has set firmly.
Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of color and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade orange jelly!
