juice an apple - add a touch of water if you need too but not too much - you want an intense taste
pop about 80mls into a small glass and add 1 or 2 tsp of chia seeds
mix
leave in fridge for 10 or so mins to set
voila! easy healthy 'jelly'. My kids and their friends love them.

That's a great idea Zebraa. I guess it would work for other fruits too? My girls have never had jelly before - I'm so cruel...

Good idea indeed

How do you juice an apple

Thermomixer · « **Reply #4 on:** June 30, 2010, 07:46:35 am »

Put pieces into the TMX and blitz the hell out of it?

That's what I'll be trying, although it's very thick and pulpy. Might still work, but otherwise I guess you could strain it?

So it wasn't a silly question then

maybe if you added a couple of ice blocks as well to help emulsify the pulp to the juice and then not add the water after. That could work.

I just quarter it and blitz on 6-8 for 30 secs, then add a bit of water and do it on 9 for 2 mins to get a good texture. It does't matter if it is pretty thick as you want the end result thick and 'jellyish' anyway.

Other fruits would work as well - strong ones would be better - eg pineapple. Kiwi fruit and apple would be a good mix - would jide the chia seeds from picky kids too

Thanks for more information on this one zebraa - must get some chia seeds and try this one.

Where do you buy chia seeds?

judydawn · « **Reply #11 on:** October 20, 2010, 02:03:37 am »

Hi sharonpharm, welcome to the forum. I've seen them in health food shops but have never checked out the larger supermarkets to see if they carry them these days.

This is a great idea - thanks Zebraa! I make my own healthy jellies from fruit juice and bits of fruit, honey to sweeten if needed, and gelatin or agar agar (and I often add chopped pecans too) - works beautifully! Must post my Christmas one, as it's coming up quickly!...

Health food shops and organic market-type shops have chia - and recently I saw them in our local Woolies - kept in both their health food section, and also in the cooking section with the dried fruits and nuts

Is there something in the chia seeds that sets the apple into jelly??

yep. It's a big word that starts with m
