Fresh Orange Jelly


My son has been asking for jelly so I decided to make some without all the sugar and artificial junk. They loved it!

Ingredients
400ml freshly squeezed juice
1 sachet plain gelatin
125ml boiling water

Method
1. Add gelatin into hot water then stir to dissolve 
2. Add juice and stir well
3. Pour into desired mould or dish
4. Refrigerate until set (minimum 4 hours)

You can use fresh fruit and your choice of juice but avoid acidic fruit like pineapple and kiwi fruit as the jelly won't set.

Dairy, Soy and Nut free cheese!

I have just been introduced to this. It is a coconut oil based cheese. Texture is like Edam. Tastes mild and a little like Kraft Singles from my childhood. Has a few additives but how else can you expect to make cheese from coconut. Friends made a Ellen Friendly Pizza with it and it was a huge hit. Ellen just had some on toast and loved it. She is so excited!
