Orange jelly

How to Make Orange Jelly / Easy with Gelatin and Pon Juice!! Dessert Recipe

Here’s how to make orange jelly that blows away the rainy-season blues with its refreshing aroma and tang.

It’s super easy to make! Heat orange juice, add dissolved gelatin, mix well, and chill in the refrigerator.

Make the lemon jelly the same way: dissolve gelatin in hot water with sugar and lemon juice, then chill that as well.

Once both are fully set, use a fork to break the lemon jelly into your preferred size and place it on top of the orange jelly.

Your refreshing orange jelly is ready.

Because it can be made safely in a microwave, it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.

Pineapple kanten (agar jelly)

Pineapple Kanten: How to Make Kanten with Pineapple

Why not try making agar jelly using canned pineapple? Put sugar and the syrup from the can into a bowl, and divide the pineapple pieces among serving dishes.

Add powdered agar to the bowl with the sugar and syrup, pour in boiling water, and stir thoroughly.

Pour the agar mixture into the dishes with the pineapple, and once it has cooled slightly, chill in the refrigerator until set.

Since you’re using canned fruit, it’s easy to make—one of the best parts.

Summer can dampen your appetite, but this chilled, sweet pineapple agar jelly is sure to whet it.

Warabi Mochi in Anmitsu Style

Oyachube! “Anmitsu-style Warabi Mochi”

Warabi-mochi has a jiggly, gelatinous texture in your mouth.

It’s often dusted with kinako (roasted soybean flour), but topping it with matcha or drizzling it with kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) is also delicious.

Warabi-mochi is made with warabi starch, though using warabi starch can sometimes result in a slightly firmer texture.

Try some tweaks, like using a store-bought kit that yields softer warabi-mochi, or making a soft version with potato starch (katakuriko).

You can also turn it into an anmitsu-style dessert by adding sweet red bean paste and fruit, then drizzling kuromitsu on top.

It transforms warabi-mochi into a more festive Japanese sweet than usual, and it’s likely to be enjoyed by older adults as well.

Chilled Milk Mochi

Only 3 ingredients! How to make chilled milk mochi | #milk #milkmochi #snack #easyrecipe #ChefYukari #shorts

Here’s how to make chilled milk mochi.

Prepare potato starch (katakuriko), milk, sugar, a bowl, a pot, and a food storage container.

Put the potato starch and sugar into the pot and mix well.

Next, gradually add the milk, letting it blend in, and cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly.

When the milk mixture thickens to a custardy consistency, reduce to low heat and continue heating for 2 minutes while stirring well.

Transfer the milk mochi to a food storage container whose inside has been moistened with water, then place the entire container in an ice-water bath for about 30 minutes to cool to room temperature.

Cover the milk mochi with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to set.

It’s also great served with fruit.

Assign roles and have staff provide support so everyone can participate and enjoy the activity together.

Blueberry yogurt ice cream

[Senior Recreation] Rec Craftsman Series Part 31: “Blueberry Yogurt Ice Cream”

Here’s a blueberry yogurt ice cream you can make just by kneading a bag.

First, put blueberry jam into a food storage bag.

Think about the final texture you want: if you like chunks, leave some pieces intact; if you prefer it smooth, mash the blueberries well.

Add heavy cream and yogurt, then knead the bag thoroughly until the color is uniform.

Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal the bag, and freeze it.

There’s no cooking involved, and most of the process is simply mixing by kneading the bag, so anyone can make it easily.

It’s also recommended as a recreational activity in senior care facilities.
