Jello Mixture

Instructions

Prepare clementine juice

Juice the clementines and strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds.

Pro tip: Use fresh clementines for the best flavour.

Bloom the gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1 cup of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

Pro tip: Ensure the gelatin is fully saturated.

Heat the juice

In a saucepan, combine clementine juice, 1 cup of water, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, but do not boil.

Pro tip: Stir continuously to prevent the sugar from burning.

Combine gelatin and juice

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Pro tip: Ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved to avoid a grainy texture.

Mold the jello

Pour the mixture into a mold or serving glasses. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Pro tip: Use a wet mold to easily release the set jello.

Chill the jello

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

Pro tip: For a firmer texture, chill overnight.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your clementine jello chilled, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. You can also pair it with a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing and colourful dessert platter. To make ahead, prepare the jello up to two days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Ensure it's covered to prevent it from absorbing any fridge odours.
