    Orange Jelly is a gooey, gummy wonder made by crystallizing orange juice mid-way using agar agar in carved orange skin & left undisturbed for an hour. Orange Jelly made at home is a healthy delight for kids and can be used for desserts, puddings & cakes.Orange Jelly Recipe
    This Orange Jelly is a very easy dessert that you can make in few minutes and it will never fail to please a crowd.I was first bowled out by the idea of using orange cups for setting the jellies, it was such a treat to the eyes.When I made this Orange Jelly, I shared it with my neighbor and they too loved it.Mittu loves any jelly so I prefer making them at home,not that I don’t get it from outside but try the most to avoid jellies from shops.Agar agar does magic to jellies, it sets so well even in room temperature, even beginners can use it.

    • If you feel agar agar has impurities then strain and add orange juice. I didn’t have need here so didn’t strain.
    • You can use any flavour following this method. You can even add fruit purees.
    • You can eat it as such or use it in any desserts, custard based puddings or cakes. mittu loved to have it as such.
