Mandarin Orange Jelly Recipes

MANDARIN ORANGE JAM

Steps:

• Peel mandarins and remove as much of the white pith as possible from the outside and center of the oranges. Remove any seeds that may be lurking in your "seedless" oranges.
• You do not need to remove the membranes separating the segments, however, if any are very loose, remove them.
• Chop mandarin segments into small pieces. If using a food processor or immersion blender, do so briefly to avoid completely pureeing the oranges.
• Zest and juice the lemon, add to oranges.
• You should have 4 cups of prepared oranges. Add orange juice or more orange segments as necessary.
• Wash jars and lids and keep hot. (No need to sterilize).

MANDARIN ORANGE JELLY RECIPE

Steps:

• Set a small saucepan over low heat.
• Place the gelatin leaves in a bowl and cover with 500ml cold water, soak for a few minutes until softened.
• Pour the Mandarin orange juice into the pan to warm up, this will only take a few minutes.
• Then add the softened gelatine and let it dissolve, stirring occasionally.
• Add a very small amount of sugar to sweeten the juice, you don't want to loose the tangy flavour.
• Squeeze the ginger in your hand over the pot, so a few drops of ginger juice are added.
• Arrange 6 small serving glasses on a tray and strain the orange mixture into each glass.
• Put the tray with the glasses in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin has set. The jelly should be wobbly.
• To serve, top with blueberries and whipped cream. Chocolate shavings are also a nice addition.
