Description
Six small strawberry jelly cups with fruit pieces and agar-set juice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 2 cups Water
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Agar agar powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Divide 2 cups diced hulled strawberries evenly among six heat-safe small cups. Whisk 2 tsp agar powder into 2 cups cool water and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan.
- Bring to a full boil while whisking and simmer according to the agar powder package, approximately two minutes, until completely dissolved; do not merely warm. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Pour hot mixture carefully over fruit, dividing evenly. Let steam subside, cover and refrigerate about two hours until fully set.
- Serve cold in the cups. Test the brand's agar concentration, firmness, fruit distribution and six-cup volume; agar flakes are not a one-for-one substitute.
