Strawberry Jelly Cubes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and pureed
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered pectin
- Additional granulated sugar for coating
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Puree the fresh strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.
- Cook the Strawberry Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, 1 cup of granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
- Add the Pectin:
- Once the mixture is boiling, gradually whisk in the powdered pectin. Continue to boil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add Remaining Sugar:
- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture back to a boil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a gel-like consistency.
- Set the Jelly:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot mixture into a square or rectangular baking dish lined with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Cut and Coat:
- Once the jelly is set, remove it from the baking dish and cut it into small cubes.
- Roll each cube in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
- Store and Serve:
- Place the sugar-coated jelly cubes on a baking sheet and let them air-dry for a few hours to form a slightly firm outer coating.
- Store the strawberry jelly cubes in an airtight container at room temperature.
