Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 ml) water
• 0.14 oz (4 g, 2 tsp.) kanten powder (1 package)
• ¼ cup (4 Tbsp.) sugar (4 Tbsp. for healthy and 6-8 Tbsp. for dessert. Pls read the post.)
• Fruits of your choice (orange, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi)
• A nagashikan (read the post) or mold (6 x 5 x 2 inch or 15 x 13.5 x 4.5 cm)

Directions

• In a small saucepan, add 2 cups (500 ml) of water and 4 gram kanten powder. Whisk to combine and bring it to a boil.
• Once boiling, lower the heat and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk occasionally and make sure kanten powder has completely dissolved. After 2 minutes, remove from the heat.
• Add ¼ cup (4 Tbsp.) sugar and whisk till sugar is completely dissolved.
• Run water in the mold (or nagashikan) and pour the liquid until there is about ⅓ inch (1 cm) in the mold (so that fruits wont touch the bottom). Using a spoon or toothpick, move the bubbles on the liquid to the corner and remove them. Transfer the mold to the refrigerator and wait till solidify, about 10 minutes (it will solidify at room temperature, but itll take a longer time depending on room temperature). The liquid in the saucepan should not be solidified as fast since the saucepan is still warm and it has more liquid in there. If solidify, then re-heat till it turns to liquid.
• Meanwhile cut fruits for the jelly.
• Once the ⅓ inch (1 cm) jelly has settled (Tilt the mold to see if it moves), place the fruits on top.
• Then pour the rest of the mixture and pop/remove the bubbles. Keep in the fridge until the jelly has solidified completely.
• Once solidified, run a knife around the mold and gently flip and unmold the jelly. If you’re using the nagashikan, run a knife around the mold and pull up the handles.
• Cut the jelly to around the fruits so they look prettier. Serve chilled on a plate.
