Jelly is fun for kids to eat – and make! And its quite easy to do at home without a packet mix. Just remember, the gelatine does need to be boiled to remove the sulphates.
One of Oscar’s favourite songs is “Aeroplane Jelly”. I sang it to him once when he wanted a plane song – it was the only one I could think of! It’s a pity he can’t eat it.

Natural paw paw jelly.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Gelatine
- 100ml Hot water
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 cup Paw Paw (chopped)
- 400ml Syrup from pears in syrup
Optional
- Fruit (red/golden delicious apples, bananas, pears) (peeled and chopped)
Directions
| 1. | Combine the gelatine, hot water and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes. This will remove the sulphates from the gelatine. |
| 2. | Add the paw paw and 100ml of the syrup to a food processor and process until puréed. |
| 3. | Add enough syrup to the paw paw purée to make up 400ml. Add the gelatine and mix through. |
| 4. | Place some fruit (optional) in the bottom of 3 or 4 jelly moulds or small bowls then pour in the jelly mixture. |
| 5. | Place in the fridge to set, about 1 hour. |
Note
High Amines, Low Salicylates, Low Glutamates
Most gelatine contains preservative 220, however this can be boiled off as I've done in this recipe. Very sensitive people may still have a problem with this.
Optional - use different types of fruit to place in the bottom of the cups:
- Bananas (moderate to high amines)
- Red or Golden Delicious apples (moderate salicylates)
- Pears
