This jelly is made with 100% Apple Juice and stewed Apple slices. You only need to add a small amount of Sugar OR add No Sugar at all if you prefer. Using canned Apple slices, it is quick and easy to make. This is a refreshing dessert that can be very healthy. You can make this Jelly with Lemon flavoured Syrup, but you need to add fair bit of Sugar. I like to use 100% Apple Juice and it is sweet enough for me.

4 Servings

Ingredients

4g (1 & 1/4 teaspoons) Agar Agar Powder *I used Golden Cup Agar Agar Powder
*Note: You can reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon (about 3g) for softer jelly if you set the jelly in serving glasses.

2 cups (500ml) Apple Juice *OR 2 cups Water and 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, read ‘Method 3’
1 to 2 teaspoons Sugar *optional
1 can (410g) Apple Slices
*Note: You can use 2 to 3 fresh Apples, that are cut into slices and softly cooked.

Method
  1. Drain canned Apple Slices. If you use fresh Apples, peel, remove core, cut into slices OR bite-size pieces, and cook with a little bit of Sugar until soft.
  2. Place Agar Agar Powder, Apple Juice and Sugar (if you add it) in a saucepan, and mix well. Bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once it is boiling, remove from heat.
  3. Water & Lemon Juice: You can make this dessert with 2 cups Water and 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice. In that case, you need to add 4 to 6 tablespoons Sugar. You can add 1 tablespoon Red Wine to colour it.
  4. Place drained Apple Slices in a container, jelly mould(s) OR serving glasses, then pour the Jelly mixture. When cool enough, leave in the fridge until set. Cut into a serving size if large.
