Friendly Fruity Jelly
Making jelly with agar agar (vegetarian alternative to normal jelly)
means you get loads of minerals, no artificial colourings, sweeteners
or flavourings. The texture is just as wibbly, wobbly yet firm as more
scary kinds of jelly! Careful not to pig out though, this jelly has mild
laxative properties.
3 rounded tablespoons of Clearspring Agar Agar Flakes
200ml of ready diluted Crazy Jacks Cordial - blackcurrant
and apple, or strawberry and apple are ideal.
Some organic frozen mixed berries.
Put the made up cordial into an aluminium free pan. Sprinkle the agar
agar flakes over the liquid efore heating. Bring to a simmer over a medium
heat, without stirring. Simmer for 3-5 mintues, stirring occationally,
until the flakes dissolve.
Leave the contents of the pan to cool down to warm and then transfer the
liquid to small plastic beakers or other suitable container. Children
love to drop the frozen berries into the liquid as it sets. The frozen
berries will melt in the liquid and help to hasten it to set as it cools.
Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
Experiment with pure furit juices, or other organic cordials the following
fruits may affect the setting properties of agar agar: kiwi fruit (too
acidic), pineapple, fresh figs, papaya, mango and peaches.
