Ingredients

  • 7 ounces, weight Water
  • 1/3 ounces, weight Agar-agar Powder
  • 1/2 pounds, 7/8 ounces, weight Fruit Puree Or Juice (fresh)
  • 5-1/3 ounces, weight Sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat the water in a saucepan. When it begins to boil, add the agar-agar and stir for 2 minutes until dissolved. Remove from the heat, and add the juice or fruit puree that has first been mixed with sugar. Put it back on the stove and heat for two more minutes, while stirring. Then remove from heat and pour the mixture into a mould (I used square - see photo), and let it cool and set for at least 1 hour. If you are going to sugar the gums, do it just before serving, because they tend to get wet when sugared.
  2. They can be kept in the refrigerator (in an airtight container) for a week, but since they are made from fresh fruit, it is better not to store them.
