Vegetarian Dragon Fruit Jelly (Agar Agar) Recipe

Dragon fruits have lots of Vitamin C and loaded with antioxidant. I would normally remove the seeds by filtering the bright red juice to make agar-agar (jelly) but this time around, I decided to make it with the seeds altogether. This wonderful dragon fruit jelly taste really delicious when chilled especially nowadays when the weather is very hot.

Ingredients
Agar - Agar powder or strips, 1.5 oz
Water, 1400ml or more if you want the jelly to be soft
Dragon fruit, 1 fruit, blended
Sugar to taste

Pour water in pot and bring to a boil. Add in the agar-agar strips. Keep on stiring the mixture until the strips melt. Add sugar and stir until it dissolves. Put in the blended Dragron Fruit.  Pour the mixture in agar-agar mould. Let it cool down. Chill before serving.
