I recently discovered a product called Queen’s ‘Jel-it-in Vegetarian Gelling Powder’ at a Woolworths store. It’s an Agar-base gelling powder and it is easy to use. Sometimes I prefer to use Agar or Kanten rather than Gelatine. For this orange juice jelly, definitely Agar is the best option. And Queen’s ‘Jel-it-in’ dissolves very well. I will be using this product for rest of my life.

Place Orange Juice, Sugar and Gelling Powder (OR Agar Agar) in a saucepan. Mix well, and bring to the boil, stirring well. Once it started boiling, remove from heat.

Drain the canned Mandarin Segments to remove the syrup.
3

Place the Mandarin Segments in glasses, jelly moulds or container. Pour the orange mixture over, and shake a little bit to remove any bubbles around the Mandarin Segments.
