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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the Pectin:
    • Once the mixture is boiling, gradually whisk in the powdered pectin. Continue to boil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Enjoy your homemade strawberry jelly cubes, a sweet and fruity treat perfect for snacking or gifting!
