Delicious homemade jelly lolly recipe for you today! These little stars are full of flavor and vitamins. Delicious and good for you? My kind of sweet treat.
My kids love gummy lollies, what child doesn’t, right? However, the ingredients list of the most popular Australian jelly snakes makes me cringe. This is exactly why I have made these raspberry and orange jellies. So now, anytime my kids ask me if they can have some lollies, I say – yes, of course!
Ingredients for homemade jelly lollies
Raspberries are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Freshly squeezed orange juice is high in many nutrients, including vitamin C, folate, and potassium.
Lemon juice excellent source of vitamin C.
Organic raw honey contains many antioxidants. But please don’t rush and eat the honey with a spoon. It is still very high in sugar.
High-quality gelatin is rich in proteins and has a unique amino acid profile.
Have I convinced you to give this delicious snack recipe a go? Let’s do it!
Super easy to make raspberry and orange jelly lollies that are both delicious and are really good for you and especially for your kids! Move aside Allens!
1cupof raspberriesI always use frozen berries for this
1/4cupof water
Freshly squeezed juice of 3 large oranges
Freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
2.5tbspgelatinsee note!
1tspof organic raw honey
Instructions
Add water and the raspberries into a small pot, bring to simmer, DO NOT boil the raspberries.
Add the orange, honey and lemon juice and once again bring to simmer without boiling the mixture.
Add the gelating and stir the mixture for a couple of minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Pour into the molds or any other flat container you have on hand and let it set in the fridge for a couple of hours. The jelly will be very firm once it has set.
Once the jelly has set, take it out of the moulds. If you don't have the special moulds, like me, simply use small cooky cutters. You also can just cut the jellies into any shapes you like using a knife.
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep for two weeks, but I honestly don’t think they will last for so long! Enjoy!!
Delicious and so easy. My kids love jelly lollies, but Idon’t like artificial colors. I didn’t have orange, but had apple juice on hand and it turned our great.
