- Ingredients:
- 3
- Yields:
-
1 cup
ingredients
- 1 cup fruit, pulp
- 1 2 tablespoons date sugar or 1 tablespoon date syrup
- 1 tablespoon agar-agar flakes or 1/4 teaspoon agar, powder
directions
- Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and simmer for 2 minutes (or about a minute longer if the sweetener you used was liquid, like honey, molasses or agave nectar.).
- Chill and then pour into an airtight, glass container.
- Store in the refrigerator for 3 weeks.
- This is not a jelly that should be canned or jarred in the traditional sense. It's just for making and then using within 3 weeks.
- If you are on a rotation diet and you make this, you should only use it every 4 days because of the agar. Even if you used different fruits, you'd be having agar every day. No bueno.

I used to enjoy a mash-up of ingredients in all my recipes. Now my son has been diagnosed with a multitude of allergies including corn and egg and we've had to go on a diversified rotary diet. Probably a blessing in disguise. My allergies have always bothered me and at the age of 26 I "suddenly" developed a coconut allergy. I'm learning more and more about the way food allergies develop and am learning to cook in a whole new way. If you're going on a diet like this and would like to see our rotation, let me know. Everyone's allergies are different, though, so before you use any of my rotation diet recipes, please consider any hidden sources of your own problem foods.
