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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the prepared gelatin to the orange juice mixture, and stir until the gelatin has fully dissolved.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Carefully pour the orange jelly mixture into serving glasses or a large mold, depending on your preference.
Step 6
Distribute the fresh orange segments evenly among the serving glasses or mold to add texture and flavor to the jelly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade orange jelly!
