Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the mixed fruit into small pieces, removing any pits or seeds as needed.

  2. In a blender or food processor, blend the mixed fruit until smooth. Optionally strain the puree to remove pulp for a smoother texture.

  3. In a saucepan, combine the fruit puree, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

  4. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the fruit mixture and whisk until completely dissolved. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. Lightly grease a square baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the fruit jelly mixture into the dish and spread evenly with a spatula.

  6. Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2-3 hours until fully set and firm.

  7. Cut the set jelly into squares using a sharp knife dipped in hot water between cuts for clean edges.

  8. Serve the Fruit Jelly Squares on a platter, optionally garnished with fresh fruit slices or powdered sugar.
