Grapefruit Jelly
I love grapefruit as they are an excellent source of Vitamin C, a vitamin that helps to support the immune system and also commonly known to be protective against cold flu. As there were a lot of ‘not so sourish’ grapefruit in the market recently, I grabbed 3 fruits home. I love to eat them by slicing them horizontally and scooping out sections of the halves with a spoon. After making the Grapefruit Butter Cake, I’ve been thinking why not try to make them into jelly. So this is the lovely Grapefruit Jelly that I’m sharing with you today. This healthy dessert is very refreshing, soft and tangy, you’ll definitely go back for more.
Ingredients:
- 1 Grapefruit
- 250ml/1 cup Water
- 500ml Pulpy Grapefruit juice drink (Polar brand)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Sugar or to taste
- 2 tbsp Gelatine powder soak with 5 tbsp water
Method:
- Peel grapefruit and remove pulp in a drainer keeping the juice in a bowl (about 2 tbsp or slightly more).
- Soak gelatine powder with 5 tbsp of water and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Put water and sugar in a pot and heat to almost boil, add honey and stir well till dissolved , pour in the grapefruit juice drink, stir to boil.
- Then add soaked gelatine in it, stir till gelatine dissolved and bring to light boil for 5 minutes.
- Off heat and add in fresh grapefruit juice and pulp, stir well and pour into serving cups.
- Leave jelly to cool in refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours before serve.
Enjoy!

Hi,I love it. I live in Adana-Türkiye. We have a lot of citrus on this region. I'll make it but can I use fresh orange jüice instead of the other one(because I can't find)
Thank you.
See you.
Gorgeous dessert, and so simple! Yum!
I love the colour of this jelly, so festive and refreshing!
I love grapefruit too! I could eat it any time!

Anncoo, would you mind if I used your grapefruit jelly photo for my Wordless Wednesday post? You will be given credit and a link back to your blog.
It is a beautiful photo and its perfect for Florida.

Florida grows a lot citrus fruits. Grapefruit is abundant especially over the next couple of months. I think grapefruit jelly is a wonderful idea. This is beautiful.

确是一件很“酷”（cool）的享受，哈哈！
印象中 grapefruit 都很酸很涩的，所以没想过要拿来做甜品。你把它变成了美味又漂亮的 jelly
