  • 30 g tapioca starch
  • juice of one lemon
  • 80 g date flour
  • 1 apple approx. 120 g

  • 40 g dates Deglet Nour

Instructions

Make jelly

  • Boil water with finely chopped pitted dates for about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in red currant powder.
  • Then add the sachet of agar agar and stir well.
  • Simmer everything together for at least 2 – 4 minutes until a thick mixture is formed.
  • Pass through a sieve and allow to cool slightly.

Notes

Tips

Warm the finished jelly slightly to make it easier to spread. This makes my fruity jelly cake more flavorful.

The cake also tastes very fine with strawberry powder. Try this variation as well.

Interesting to know

Unlike jam, jelly is made from fruit juice. Instead of currant powder, you can also take the juice of red currants and thicken it with agar agar.
