Orange Lime Jelly

 

When we thought that fil is going to be back home soon, he was admitted to hospital again. This has been happened so many times, when we thought there is a good progress of him, something bad will happen :(.

Anyway back to blogging, it has been such a long time that I didn't appearing in Little Thumb Up event. I happened to know that Ann is the host for this month event, since she is one of the baking buddies, definitely has to give her some support. As the ingredient is orange and I have a backlog post that is Orange Lime Jelly which was adapted from Ann's recipe, what a coincidence :D.

This is a refreshing dessert with loads of vitamin C and real fruits juice that I prepared for the New Year Eve Party at my place.

Recipe adapted from Anncoo Journal 

    

Ingredients : about 10 cups

100ml Water
2 tbsp + 1 tsp gelatine powder
700ml freshly squeezed orange juice
4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
120g sugar, or to taste

Method:

1. Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatin. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
2. Combine the orange and lime juices and the sugar in a pot and cook over medium heat stirring until sugar is dissolved. 
3. Add the gelatin when the liquid started to boil and stir with a hand whisk until dissolved. 
4. Remove from heat, strain mixture.
5. Then divide evenly into serving cups.
6. Let cool to room temperature then refrigerator for 4-5 hours or until firm. 


Verdict?
I do not really enjoy the texture of this jelly, soft soft and dunno how to describe lol. I prefer QQ texture which is konnyaku jelly or crunchy texture like aga-aga. However I love the taste, sour sweet that is so refreshing. My guests like it and especially dear daughter, she finished 2 cups at one go and asked for more.
