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.
