Vegetarian jelly recipe??

MoonDancer

Does anyone have a recipe for Vegetarian jelly? The local shops here don't stock it, even the local health food shop! They do sell vegetarian gelatine so thats a start, so I thought I could make my own, but I wouldn't have a clue what to put in it.
Do you have any ideas or recipes of your own?

Well, if you could get your hands on the pre-prepared jelly, the brand who supply it is 'Just Wholefoods' and most healthfood stores seem to stock it on their shelves. Knowing this, it seems your local should be able to get it in fairly easy.

The ingredients of the strawberry pack are: Raw cane sugar, gelling agents (carrageenan, locust bean gum), natural flavours (orange, pineapple, lemon), citric acid, acidity regulator (potassium citrate).Raw cane sugar, gelling agents (carrageenan, locust bean gum), natural flavours (orange, pineapple, lemon), citric acid, acidity regulator (potassium citrate).

So, I'd suggest a heap of sugar, concentrated fruit juices, the agar leaf (veggie gelatine type stuff) and hot water. The acids listed at the end of the ingredients would be mostly there as preservatives.

Let us know how it works out!

European foodstore have a jelly like thing called Kisel it made from potato starch.
You have to watch for coincheal as a colorant in some brand though.
