Ingredients 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwi, grapes, mandarin segments, etc.), diced 2 cups water 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 packet (7g) agar-agar powder
Instructions In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Sprinkle agar-agar powder over the liquid while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Divide the diced fruit evenly among 4 small cups or bowls (about 1/2 cup fruit each). Pour the warm agar mixture over the fruit, filling each cup to the top. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set. To serve, run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate, or eat directly from the cup.
Tips Use canned fruit in syrup for extra sweetness; drain well before using. Jelly cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Substitute agar-agar with gelatin (1 packet) for a non-vegan version; follow gelatin package instructions.
