Orange jelly recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very tasty treat that you can make during holidays this summer today. Jelly is a top favorite among toddlers and kids but it is not a very good idea to buy jellies from shop. I always wanted to try jelly with agar agar but was hesitant to handle agar agar. Then after making this strawberry cheesecake recipe I had some agar agar and wanted to finish it off making jelly. I have tasted jelly only once or twice from shops and that was only orange jelly. So I made this easy orange jelly recipe with agar agar. My friend suggested using orange skin to set the orange jelly. Looks like she saw that in some tv show. I liked the idea very much. It is cute and fun to serve orange jelly this way.

To make orange jelly recipe using agar agar we need fresh orange juice, orange peel cups, agar agar and sugar. To get the deep color I have used crushed saffron instead of food color. You can use natural food color too for this. I have not added any orange or any other essence. the flavor that fresh orange juice gives is just wonderful in this orange jelly recipe. Do try this easy orange jelly recipe with agar agar, a much healthier treat than orange jelly with gelatin.

Serve orange jelly as dessert or snack

Here is how to make orange jelly recipe with step by step photos.

Step by step orange jelly recipe with agar agar

1.Squeeze juice from fresh oranges and reserve the peel. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of orange juice in a bowl. Add suagr and very finely crushed saffron. Mix well till the sugar dissolves.

2. Remove the fiber and white pith from the orange peel and keep the orange cup ready.

3. Rinse and soak agar agar in 4 tablespoons of water. I have used just 1 tablespoon agar agar here. For more firm jelly you can use 2 tablespoons. Once the agar agar is well soaked, transfer this to a small pan and cook in low flame till agar agar is completely dissolved. Add this to the orange juice and mix well. Filter it once to remove any agar agar flakes.

4. Pour this jelly mixture into the reserved orange cups and set for 2-3 hours. No need to refrigerate. If storing for long time then keep in fridge. Cut and serve orange jelly as required.
