Categories     Cake     Candy     Fruit

Yield 32 1-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh raspberries
1/4 cup (5 envelopes) unflavored powdered gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a 4 1/2 by 8-inch flan form in the center of the foil. In a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, heat the raspberries until they begin to release their juice (about 5 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the raspberries into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. With a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, press through as much of the raspberry juice as possible. This should yield 2/3 cup raspberry juice.
  • In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the cold water. In a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberry juice, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the corn syrup, and stir the mixture with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Add the dissolved gelatin and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately turn the mixture into the prepared flan form. Let the candy set up completely at room temperature (2 to 3 hours).
  • With the blade of a large chef's knife, loosen and remove the flan form. Cut the candy into eight 1-inch strips, then cut each strip into 4 pieces, forming 1-inch squares. Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a round cake pan, roll each square in the sugar to coat it completely, then place each square in a paper candy cup. Between layers of waxed paper in a tightly covered container, the jellies will keep for 1 week at room temperature or 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
  • VARIATIONS
  • Substitute blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries for the raspberries. Substitute 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon or orange juice for the raspberries.

I'm not a big fan of jelly, but these were actually really good. They were light and refreshing, and not too sweet.

These jellies are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some berries that were about to go bad, and I turned them into a delicious jelly.
