Ingredients
- 300 ml freshly squeezed orange Juice (about 4 medium oranges)
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 100 ml sugar syrup
- 100 ml water
- 5 leaves gelatin
Sugar syrup
- 500 ml water
- 500 g sugar
Setting time: overnight
Instructions
To make the sugar syrup, boil 500 ml of water in a pan. Add the sugar. Stir to dissolve.
Choose your jelly mould.
Use water in a measuring jug to check the mould’s volume. Regardless of whether using a mould or glasses/bowls to set the jelly, store them on a tray to catch the sticky drips.
Combine the orange and lemon juice in a jug. If the oranges are relatively tart and need sweetening. Add equal amounts of water and sugar syrup to make the volume up to 500ml. If the oranges are very sweet, add less syrup.
Cut the leaves of gelatin into a bowl. Cover the gelatin with a few tablespoons of the jelly mixture. Let the gelatin soften for 10 minutes while you bring a small pan to a simmer.
Place the bowl of softened gelatin over the simmering water and stir until it is melted, taking about 10 minutes. Pour in the remainder of the jelly mixture and stir. Finally, strain into a measuring jug and fill the mould. Refrigerate overnight or until set.
