Blood orange and lemon jubes
I’m a total sucker for any kind of sweet, especially the red ones. I know, of course, that they’re not great for us. But these home-made jubes are actually tastier than anything that comes in a bag and they’re not at all bad for you – winning! The blood orange juice adds a gorgeous colour and tang, but you could use regular orange juice and they’d be just as good.
Ingrediënten
- 1 cup 250 ml blood orange juice
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup or to taste
- 2 Tbsp grass-fed powdered gelatine see Note
Instructies
- Combine the blood orange juice, lemon juice and honey or maple syrup in a small saucepan.
- Heat until the mixture reaches boiling point, then remove from the heat.
- Whisk in the gelatine and keep mixing until it has completely dissolved.
- Strain the mixture into small silicone ice-cube moulds or into a small shallow container, about 10 x 20 cm (4 x 8 inches).
- Place in the fridge to set for an hour or so before popping the jubes out of the moulds or cutting into small cubes.
- Store the jubes in the fridge for a few days.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
It’s worth looking in health-food stores or online
for a grass-fed bovine gelatine rather than buying the powdered one from the supermarket. The good stuff has no flavour at all and it boasts all kinds of health benefits.
