Jube Jube
Ingredients:
– 2 cups of fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
– 1 cup of sugar
– 1/2 cup of water
– 1/4 cup of gelatin
– 1/4 cup of cornstarch
– Optional: additional sugar for coating
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and the berries have softened, about 10-12 minutes.
2. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the berry mixture until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
3. In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with 1/4 cup of cold water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom.
4. Heat the strained berry liquid over low heat until warm but not boiling. Add the gelatin mixture to the liquid, whisking until fully dissolved.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the warm berry mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and has a pudding-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Pour it into a square baking dish lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly. Allow it to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Once the mixture has set, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares or other desired shapes. Optional: roll the individual candies in sugar for a sweet coating.
8. Store the Jube Jube candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy these delightful treats as a snack or share them with friends and family for a burst of fruity flavor!
