Ingredients for making Soft Orange Jelly For 2 people
Agar powder 15 gr Yellow oranges 1 kg Granulated sugar 150 gr
Tips for Making Delicious, Non-Clumpy Jelly
- When boiling the jelly mixture in the pot, you should stir gently to ensure the gelatin dissolves completely.
- When pouring the jelly into molds, be careful and gentle to avoid bubbles rising to the surface. If bubbles do appear, use a spoon to gently remove them so that the final jelly product is not pockmarked.
Tips for Storing Jelly
- Gelatin jelly can be used for 5 – 7 days if stored properly.
- You should not place jelly near raw foods with strong odors like fish or meat, as the jelly will easily absorb the smells and spoil quickly.
- It is recommended to store jelly in a covered container in the refrigerator. Avoid extremely low temperatures as this will make the jelly dry and hard.
- Do not store jelly at room temperature as it can spoil easily.
How to Choose Fresh Oranges
- You should use yellow oranges to make this orange jelly for a more visually appealing and sweeter final product.
- Choose oranges with a shiny, plump skin; when squeezed, they should feel slightly soft and have essential oils, as these are fresh oranges.
- Pick oranges that feel heavy in your hand, have a balanced shape, and are not misshapen.
- Avoid selecting oranges that feel mushy when squeezed or have blemishes on the skin, as these may be old and prone to spoilage.

Prepare the Oranges
After buying the oranges, wash them thoroughly, then divide them into 2 parts.
For 1 part of the orange, cut a small slice from the top, then use a sharp knife to go around the inside and scoop out the orange with a spoon.
The remaining part should be cut in half, then squeeze the orange to extract the juice, and remember to strain it through a sieve to remove the seeds and pulp.
-
Boil the Mixture
Mix 150 grams of agar powder with 3 tablespoons of boiling water to dissolve it completely.
Next, place a pot on the stove with 750 grams of freshly squeezed orange juice, the 150 grams of agar powder mixed with boiling water, and 150 grams of granulated sugar, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mixture boils, then turn off the heat, stirring gently with a spoon to dissolve the sugar evenly during the process.
-
Pour the jelly
You pour the mixture of orange juice and the cooked jelly powder into the orange that has been cleaned out. Remember to pour it while the mixture is still hot; if it cools, the jelly will solidify and clump unattractively.
After pouring the mixture into the orange, wait for it to cool completely, then place it in the refrigerator for about 3 – 4 hours until the jelly is fully set and ready to use.

Final product
The orange jelly has a sweet, refreshing taste, easy to make, perfect for hot summer days to help you cool off without getting tired of it. This is definitely a delicious and appealing dessert that you should try making for your family during this hot season!
