Kiwi And Berries Jelly~Agar-Agar


Just last week, I lamented that the weather was not Summer like over here in Vancouver. Guess what? The sun is finally out, and I couldn't be happier. Got the kids to join me on a stroll along the beach and we enjoyed a little picnic as well over the weekend. I packed some salad with grilled chicken and a refreshing Kiwi And Berries Jelly to cool us down. Anyway, my summer vacation starts tomorrow, and I will try to share some new recipes with you whenever possible. So, have a great summer everyone!


Kiwi And Berries Jelly~Agar-Agar

Ingredients


2 Kiwi Fruits, peeled and sliced
125 g Blueberries, rinsed
170 g Blackberries, rinsed
70 g Raspberries, rinsed
10 Medium-Sized Strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 Cups of Water
3 tsp Agar-Agar Powder
½ Cup Rose Water
6 Tbsp Sugar, or more to taste

1-rectangular baking dish or tin

Method

In a large saucepan, combine water, agar-agar powder, rose water, and sugar and bring it to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until agar-agar and sugar completely dissolves, about 10 minutes.

Take the pan off the heat immediately, and strain the contents into a baking dish. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes, and scattered the fruits into the agar-agar mixture. When cool, chill the jelly in the refrigerator. Cut as desired and serve chilled.

  2. This looks gorgeous. I always think of jelly as being a kids food but this is definitely sophisticated enough to serve to adults.

  4. I just made Longan jelly today as there is no rain for almost 2 weeks, I need something to cool us down too. Yours with fresh fruits sound more refreshing.

  7. Beautiful and so good for you, too. Plus, there's always room for Jell-O, especially when it's the homemade kind.
