Orange jelly is a refreshing bright orange dessert that is especially pleasant to eat in the heat. It is prepared from oranges or orange juice. The first option is preferable - jelly made from oranges will be healthier and more aromatic.

How to cook Orange jelly

Step 1

Make jelly. Pour sugar into a saucepan or saucepan. Pour in orange juice. Place on the stove and turn on medium heat. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat. Pour in gelatin and stir. Turn off heat. Leave the saucepan on the stove for 15 minutes for the gelatin to swell in the heated juice. Then stir with a mixer at minimum speed. Pour the mixture into containers: bowls, ice-cream bowls, cups. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to completely harden.

Orange jelly - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a sweetener instead of sugar in this orange jelly recipe?

Yes, you can substitute sugar with natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative like stevia. Adjust the quantity to taste, as some sweeteners are more concentrated than sugar.

How long can I store orange jelly in the refrigerator?

Orange jelly can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best texture, consume it within the first 2 days.

Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, but ensure you use vegetarian-friendly gelatin substitutes like agar-agar or pectin, as traditional gelatin is derived from animal collagen.

How can I make this orange jelly set faster?

To speed up setting, place the jelly in the freezer for about 30 minutes before transferring it to the fridge for the remaining time. Avoid leaving it too long in the freezer to prevent crystallization.

Can I use freshly squeezed orange juice instead of store-bought?

Absolutely! Freshly squeezed orange juice enhances the flavor. Strain it to remove pulp for a smoother texture, and adjust sugar if the juice is very tart.

How can I make this recipe low-carb or keto-friendly?

Replace sugar with a keto-approved sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit and ensure the orange juice is sugar-free or used sparingly to reduce carbs.

Can I freeze orange jelly for later use?

Freezing is not recommended, as gelatin-based jelly may become watery or lose its texture upon thawing. For best results, store in the fridge and consume within a few days.

What are some creative serving suggestions for orange jelly?

Serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of citrus zest. You can also layer it with yogurt or top with mint leaves for a refreshing dessert.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
