LDP Jelly (Lychee, Dragonfruits, Pomegranate Agar Agar)

This week I intended to do something sweet so I decided to make some Agar Agar (Jelly) to satisfy my taste bud!

Looking through my fridge, I found a can of Lychee and also a dragonfruit and pomegranate juice so I decided to use these 3 items in my Jelly!  I was pretty happy with the turnout as it was nice and pretty and the taste was good too!  I don't like my Jelly to be too sweet so if you have v sweet tooth then add more sugar to suit  your taste bud ok!!



Ingredents:

1 Can Lychee
1 pack of 10g Clear Agar Agar Powder
100g Sugar
500ml Water
A drop of Lemon Yellow Food Colouring
500ml Pomegranate Juice
1/2 Dragonfruit (dice small)



Method:
  • Open Lychee can and remove the syrup.  Soak Lychee in a bowl with 500ml water.
  • Remove Lychee and put aside.  Keep the water and pour it into a pot and dissolve 5g clear agar agar powder with it. Add 80g Sugar to the pot and boil it over low heat and simmer till boil (keep stirring the mixture while cooking).
  • In another pot, pour in Pomegranate juice and add in the balance 5g Clear Agar Agar powder and stir till dissolve then add in 20g sugar and then boil it over low heat and simmer till boil (keep stirring the mixture while cooking).
  • Once both pots of agar mixture is done cooking, it's time to assemble the agar agar!  (Depending what mould you are using, I used those small individual mould.)
  • Add yellow colouring to the clear colour mixture and mix well.  Scoop some Agar mixture into the lychee bowl and leave it aside for a while  This is to allow agar to fill up the inside of lychee..
  • Then scoop some yellow agar in the mould and then place in one lychee and then fill up the yellow agar mixture till it covers the lychee.
  • Add in diced draganfruits into the pomegranate juice agar mixture and still well.
  • Once the yellow agar was semi set in the mould, use a fork to lightly scratch the yellow agar then pour in the pomegranate dragonfruit portin in to fill up the whole mould.
  • Leave agar in fridge to set for an hour and serve cold!!


Cook's Note:
* You can replace Lychee to Longan.
