Yuzu Jelly

Warning alert: Copyright © Anncoo Journal ~ Please do not copy my pictures and pages as yours.  

The weather has been getting hotter, I think it's time to make some cooling desserts. So I made Yuzu Jelly using Marigold yuzu juice drink with konnyaku powder before last weekend. As the yuzu juice drink has a lovely citrus fragrance and the sweetness is just right to my liking, I just boiled it with a little water without sugar added. Just serve the yuzu jelly in glasses with extra yuzu juice drink. I even added in some mandarin orange pulp since there are a lot of leftover from Chinese New Year. This is amazingly good ~ you can get the chewy bite of the yuzu jelly and a little sweetness from the mandarin orange. Everyone at home loved it!♥




Yuzu Jelly



     1 litre Yuzu juice drink + 100ml Water
     1 packet Konnyaku powder
     extra yuzu juice drink


     Method:
  • Pour yuzu juice drink and 100ml water together in a pot under medium heat.
  • Add in konnyaku powder and stir to boil with a hand whisk.
  • Off heat and continue to stir for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Pour yuzu liquid into a 11 inch square tray.
  • Leave to cool and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or when ready to serve.
  • To serve, cut yuzu jelly to cubes and place into serving glass. Pour in some yuzu drink and add in some mandarin orange pulp.
  • OR you prefer to pour yuzu liquid into konnyaku moulds and chill it before serve. 
   
kitchen note: 
Leave the yuzu juice drink in room temperature for 30 minutes before boiling just to   prevent the konnyaku powder curdles quickly from the cold liquid.
After boiling the yuzu liquid, you'll see a thin layer of oil on the surface. Just remove it with a spoon before pouring it into desire mould.




Enjoy!



Today is the last day of Chinese Lunar New Year. Wishing all Chinese friends and readers 
Happy Yuan Xiao Jie 元宵节快乐

    1. Lia,

      Try to get one when you're in S'pore, it is very refreshing drink or try other flavours like orange or grapefruit.

  4. It looks refreshing ! The mandarin orange makes a nice color and contrast to the texture of the yuzu jelly :)

      I got difficulty in focusing when taking these pictures because the jelly and the liquid are same colours. Anyway this is a nice dessert :)

  6. Hi Ann:
    This is my 2nd time seeing you mentioned about "Konnyaku" & I've seen recipe of using this "konnyaku powder" from the cookbook that you've sent to me! And as for Yuzu, 1st time of hearing it as normally we call it "pomelo," right? Ah, I like all these japanese terms!

    1. Jessie,

      Konnyaku is a very popular dessert in Asia and it is very easy to make. Did you realise that I've used your tea towel as background. Very pretty right?
      I don't think yuzu is pomelo ... the taste is more like 吉子 and more yellowish colour than pomelo.
      Enjoy your holidays in Hong Kong.

    1. Lyn,

      I think you can replace any drink you have in your fridge to make this jelly so don't have to buy yuzu juice drink.

  28. Happy New Year Ann and Happy Belated Birthday, I was peeking at your cool fryer. I don't know if I've seen yuzu juice before, something else new for me to be on the lookout for. Lucky for you it's warming there, it's still a little cool here. Too bad you aren't closer so you could come over and join in on the baking fun. I hope you are having a great week so far.

  40. Looks very refreshing. I would like to try making it this weekend and have bought Yuzu drink from NTUC last night. However, I realised that the Red Man Konnakyu Jelly powder which I bought contains sugar. Did you use the powder with sugar in it?

    Thank you

      I used the one without sugar. You can bring the Jelly powder back to Phoon Huat and exchange it.
