Procedure
-
1Prepare the Fruit: Place the mixed tropical fruits and nata de coco at the bottom of a medium-sized jelly mold or individual silicone cups. Ensure the fruit is drained of excess syrup so the jelly bonds well.
-
2Mix the Jelly Base: In a pot, combine 250mL of water, 250mL of Four Seasons juice, 50g of sugar, and 25g of Menu Magic Jelly Four Season
-
3Stir thoroughly while cold to prevent any clumping.
-
4Boil: Place over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until the liquid is clear and the powder is fully dissolved.
-
5Add Zest: Remove from heat and stir in the teaspoon of fresh calamansi juice for an extra "pop" of acidity.
-
6The Pour: Let the liquid cool slightly for about 5 minutes (so it doesn't "cook" the fresh fruit), then slowly pour it over the arranged fruits in the mold.
-
7Set: Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or overnight—until completely firm.
-
8Serve: Carefully unmold onto a chilled plate. The jelly will have a beautiful sunset-orange hue with colorful fruit suspended inside.
