Red Chilled Raspberry Konnyaku Jelly

Red- the colour of Spring. Well, I should also say the auspicious colour of Chinese New Year.

I have made some delicious red raspberry konnyaku jelly. It is low in fat & low in sugar provided you don’t throw in lots of sugar. I knew, sugar is a very addictive element. The chilled konnyaku jelly is really good for such hot weather. The sweet & sour chilled konnyaku jelly is really delicious.

It is pretty simple to make those little sweet things. Just follow the konnyaku package instruction & add in the raspberry sauce.

Here is how I make the Red Raspberry Sauce:

A handful of raspberry (250g frozen/fresh)

Splash of water

1 tablespoon of sugar

Method: Just put all the above into a saucepan & cook over low heat. You can see the fruit is melting.

Option 1: If you like smooth texture jelly, you can sieve the raspberry seed out & mix it with the konnyaku jelly mixture while it is still hot. Then, pour it into the jelly mold to let it set.

Option 2: You can just pour it straight into the konnyaku jelly mixture while it is still hot. You can still see the beautiful seeds in the jelly.
