• Mayra Fernandez Joglar

• Recipe type: picnic
• Calories: 10
• Rations: 24 units

• Preparation time: 1H
• Cooking time: 5M
• Total time: 1:5 p.m.

Ingredients

• 250 g of fruit puree already sifted (See note)
• 8 g agar
• 50 g birch sugar (xylitol)

Preparation

1. We crush the fruit during 1 minute, speed 9.

2. If we make them from strawberries, we pass the crushed strawberries through a fine mesh strainer to remove all the seeds.

3. We rinse the glass with water so that no seeds remain between the blades. We put the puree in the glass again and add the sugar and the sieved agar. We can use a small strainer to sift it. This way we will avoid lumps.

4. We grind everything together during 30 seconds, speed 6. We lower the puree towards the blades and program 3 minutes, 100º, speed 3.

5. We pour the content into silicone molds and let it rest in the fridge for an hour. After the resting time we will unmold and the jelly beans will be ready to drink.

Notes

If you make them with strawberries, use about 280 grams. Since when sifting the puree the quantity always decreases.[br][br]If we do not have silicone molds we can do it in any container. It has to be the right size so that we have a layer of at least 1 cm high and be lightly greased.[br]Once it has set you can unmold it and cut it without problems.[br][br]The amount of gummies will depend on the size of the mold.
