Blueberry Jelly
This easy made Blueberry Jelly is very refreshing and yummy with a hint of citrusy of lime and is very suitable to serve as an after meal dessert at home.
Ingredients
- 15 fresh blue pea flowers - + 150ml water
- 1000 ml Sprite lemon soft drink - at room temp
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 pkt konnyaku powder
- 1 tsp agar agar powder
- 5 tbsp lime juice
- fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Boil 15 pcs blue pea flowers +150ml water for a minute. Cover with lid and leave to cool and strain, then get 50ml blue pea flower water.
- Combine konnyaku powder and sugar together and set aside. Pour sprite lemon into a deep pot. Add agar agar powder into it and stir well. On heat, pour in konnyaku powder mixture and bring to boil at medium heat.
- Keep stirring mixture constantly for another 3-5 minutes at low heat. Add lime juice and stir well for another minute, off heat. **the longer you stir the liquid, the jelly will be more springy after set**
- Take out 450ml hot liquid from the pot to a measuring cup and add 50ml blue pea water, stir well. Place the remaining plain liquid under a pan of hot water, so the liquid will not set quickly (keep at low heat).
- Pour blue pea liquid into cups or moulds to half full and place inside the refrigerator for about 3-5 minutes to semi-set. Then place a few fresh blueberries on top and gently pour the plain jelly liquid over it.
- Leave jellies to cool and set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or when ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a skewer gently push the blueberries down into the semi-set jelly if they are still floating
- It's better to use a deep pot for boiling the fizzy drink as bubbles will floated once agar agar powder added in it.
