Sugar Free Blood Orange and Passionfruit Jelly

H playing with his jelly!  As much as I would love to say he gobbled it all up and absolutely loved it – I can’t.  He was very suspicions and mostly just poked it to watch it wobble!  It really is very delicious, which is why I’m posting it.  So for all those jelly loving babies (and adults) out there, this is a healthy jelly without all the sugar.  

It would be lovely served with my sugar free custard 

As you can see in the above picture, I didn’t take great care straining the juice so there is a layer of fine pulp that has settled on the top.  If you want it perfectly clear strain the juice in a very fine sieve or muslin

Blood orange and passionfruit jelly

Ingredients

• 2 cups of blood orange juice (about 5 oranges) - or any juice of your choosing
• 3 passionfruit
• 1 cup water
• 5 gold gelatine leaves
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (*optional)

Instructions

• Cut, then scoop the passionfruit seeds and liquid into a sieve and using the back of a spoon push the liquid through into a bowl - to just extract the juice; add to the blood orange juice
• Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes. In a saucepan add the cup of water and the maple syrup if using, and heat on the stove until hot. Then squeeze out the excess water from the gelatine and add to the hot water, stir then remove from the heat. Add the mixture to the juice; stir to combine
• Pour the mixture to a mould and allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. To remove from the mould place in hot water for a few seconds to a minute - not too long though or it will start to melt. Then turn out onto a bench and cut into cubes

Notes

I used gold gelatine leaves so if using titanium or another variety, just check the back of the packet for the quantity you should use. If you like your jelly on the firmer side add another gelatine leave
Will keep in the fridge for a few days
