Orange Jelly candy recipe

Add the gelatin to the orange juice and let it bloom. Mix it once so that it’s thoroughly mixed. Leave it like that for a while. Make the moulds ready by oiling with vegetable oil. It’s better to use silicon mould or a big container and cut it accordingly. Here I have used an ice tray.

In a pan, heat orange juice along with sugar, lemon juice and orange zest. Once it starts bubbling, lower the flame. Stir it frequently and cook it is about to reach one string consistency. It will roughly take 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, microwave for 30 secs and melt the gelatin and mix the orange food color (optional).

Pour the gelatin in the sugar orange syrup and mix it well and cook for a about 2-3 minutes more.

Immediately pour it in the prepared plastic container or big silicon mould, if pouring in silicon with individual small designs then pour it with the help of ladle. Bring it to room temperature and chill it for 6-8 hours or overnight.

Prepare a plate or silicon mat, pour some sugar on it. With the help of oiled knife loosen and take out the jelly. If in a big mould use oiled knife to take out and cut also. Oil your hand too so that it doesn’t stick. Once out of the moulds coat with the granulated sugar and your Jelly Mithai is ready to be relished. If not consumed immediately keep it in a closed container. Enjoy your childhood!
