Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium fresh mangoes
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons gelatin
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, not Whole30 compliant)
Instructions
Peel and cube the mangoes, discarding the pit and skin.
Place the mango cubes in a blender, add fresh lime juice, and blend until pureed.
Pour the mango puree into a bowl through a fine sieve to remove any fibrous content, ensuring a smooth puree.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer over medium heat.
Sprinkle gelatin evenly over the remaining 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Once the water in the saucepan is simmering, remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, stirring continuously until fully dissolved.
Combine the dissolved gelatin mixture with the mango puree. Stir well to incorporate completely.
Taste the mixture; if desired, add honey for extra sweetness (note: honey is not Whole30 compliant).
Pour the mango-gelatin mixture into a prepared jelly mold or dish, smoothing the top.
Refrigerate the mango jelly for at least 3-4 hours or until fully set.
Once set, unmold the jelly by carefully loosening the edges with a knife and inverting it onto a serving plate.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Whole30 Mango Jelly!
