Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe mangoes
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mango flesh into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, puree the mango pieces until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mango puree.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and agar-agar powder. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to hydrate.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir constantly to ensure the agar-agar powder dissolves completely.
Step 5
Once boiling, add the granulated sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the mango puree to the saucepan. Mix well until the puree is fully incorporated.
Step 7
Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into molds or a shallow dish to set. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature.
Step 9
Once cooled, refrigerate the mango jelly for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 10
To serve, gently run a knife along the edges of the mold or dish and invert the jelly onto a serving plate. Enjoy your delightful low sodium mango jelly!
