Easy Guide: How to Make Homemade Jelly from Scratch

• 800ml unsweetened fruit juice (mixed berry recommended for low sugar)
• 200ml water
• 2 tablespoons gelatin
• Your favorite mixed berries (cranberries are a great addition)

1. Prepare the Berries: Add mixed berries (including cranberries) to a pot and boil for 5-10 minutes to release their juices.
2. Bloom the Gelatin: In a bowl with 200ml of room-temperature water, gently sprinkle the gelatin-like light snowfall to avoid lumps. Let it sit (bloom) for 5 minutes.
3. Melt the Gelatin: Place the bowl of bloomed gelatin over a saucepan of gently simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Heat until the gelatin turns clear and liquid.
4. Strain the Berries: Pour the boiled berries into a cloth strainer, letting them sit for 5 minutes to release the juice into a bowl.
5. Combine and Set: Pour the fruit juice into a 1-litre glass container. Add the melted gelatin and whisk to combine the liquids. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
6. Serve: Once set, serve your homemade jelly with coconut cream and enjoy!

Tip: If boiling the fruits is too cumbersome, you can substitute with store-bought fruit juice.
