Delicious Fruit Jellies Recipe - Easy American Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 2 cups fruit juice (e.g., grape or orange)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin powder (unflavored)
  • 1 cup water (for dissolving gelatin)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

    Make sure the water is cold for best results.
  2. Heat Fruit Juice

    In a saucepan, heat the fruit juice over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Dissolve Gelatin

    Once the juice is hot, remove it from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.

    This may take a few minutes, ensure there are no lumps.
  4. Add Sugar

    Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved.

    Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
  5. Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a shallow dish and refrigerate until set, about 4-6 hours.

    For easier removal, use lightly oiled molds.
