Agar Flakes [1] make a vegetarian jelly that is light, cooling, and quick to prepare.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1L juice (apple, apple-strawberry, or apple-raspberry)
Pinch sea salt [2]
6 tbsp Clearspring Agar Flakes [1] [3]
1 tsp finely grated lemon peel
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 cups fresh berries
Method:
1. Pour juice into a saucepan and add the pinch of salt. Sprinkle the agar flakes over the juice and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Bring the juice to a simmer over medium heat stirring occasionally. Simmer for 3 minutes then remove from the heat. Add the lemon peel and juice.
2. Pour the hot juice over fresh whole or sliced berries in a casserole dish or mould. Refrigerate or set in a cool place, uncovered. The jelly will be firm in 1-2 hours.
If you want it to set more quickly, pour the hot mix into shallow individual serving bowls and refrigerate.
