Konnyaku Jelly with Strawberries & Apricots

I was so greedy that the last time I went shopping with my sis at Village Grocer, I bought two trays of this petite strawberries. For a start, I wasn't even a fan of strawberries but they looked so cute and pretty! This must be the shopaholic syndrome I'm having.

After our steak cookout on Sunday where sis made some nice cocktails using the strawberries (which I shall post later), I still have got a tray left. I didn't want to eat them because it's sour and I hate sour fruits. So, I rummaged through the hundreds (ok not exactly hundreds but it's at least 40's) of drawers of the antique medicine cabinet of ours in the kitchen and I found that I have a packet of Konnyaku Jelly powder left. Konnyaku Jelly with strawberries it is!



The Ingredients -
Konnyaku Jelly Powder, Kiwi Seeds, Apricots & Strawberries



The last time I blogged about my jelly experiment was about the Absolut Mango Agar-Agar where I also did write about the differences between Konnyaku, Jello and Agar-Agar. These 3 types of jellies are different in terms of textures. I still find Konnyaku very appealing as it's springy.



Rinse the Strawberries & Soak the Kiwi Seeds


The ingredients are simple and if you buy the Happy Grass brand, the Konnyaku powder comes with sugar premixed and also the malic acid to add the little oomph factor to the jelly taste. I like this brand because it dissolves well and it's convenient! Then, I also like to add a little Kiwi seeds (which is called "selasih" in BM) for the seedy texture in the jelly and then add some colours to the jelly by using strawberries and canned apricots.




After the Konnyaku jelly mixture comes to a boil, let it rest for a while. At the same time, I began to fill the jelly moulds with a dash of kiwi seeds and fruits. Then pour the mixture into the mould and let it set! It's so easy that you can complete the whole process in less than 30 minutes!


I used the plastic Mooncake moulds to make this.


Where is the love?


I think making jelly is so easy and it's the best thing I would do if I have to bring something for a potluck. Hahah... the easy way out and it seldom fail.

Have fun!!!
