Preparation

1 Wash and rinse fresh fruits. Pat dry and cut into pieces (if needed). 2 Prepare jelly moulds. 3 Arrange equal portion of fruits in mould. Set aside in the fridge. 4 Mix sugar and Konnyaku powder in a small bowl. 5 Pour apple juice in a saucepan and turn on the heat. Slowly add in item in step (2), and stir to dissolve sugar and Konnyaku powder. Bring it to a boil and continue to boil for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir until the bubbles disappear. Transfer to a pouring jug. 6 Fill moulds with Konnyaku mixture by starting with 1/3 full. Then follow by another 2/3. Set aside to cool before refrigerating to chill and set. It takes about 3 hours. Best to leave it overnight. Remove the jelly from the mould before serving. 7 Notes: 8 For shortcut, you can opt for fresh fruit juice sold in the supermarket. I used Marigold peel fresh apple juice (with no sugar added). 9 The amount stated for fruits is just an estimate.  You can try any type and combination of fresh fruits for this recipe such as mango, all kinds of berries, peach and kiwi. Canned fruits can be used as a subsitute. If so, no sugar is required. 10 Best to consume with 2 days if fresh fruits are used. 11 Watch this Konnyaku jelly cooking video clip by Phoon Huat: http://www.phoonhuat.com/special.htm 12 Konnyaku jelly moulds (as shown in the photo below) are availabe at any Phoon Huat outlets (a shop selling baking ingredients and tools in Singapore). 13 WARNINGS: 14 Parents and caretakers should be aware that jelly products containing Konnyaku may pose choking hazards as it is extremely difficult to remove if it gets stuck down the throat. Thus, it is not suitable to serve children below 4 years old and the elderly. Even for older kids and adults alike, to prevent getting choked unnecessarily, it is recommended that the jelly be first cut or bite into smaller pieces and properly chewed before swallowing.
