Tips:

  • Use a good quality pectin: Pectin is what gives jelly balls their firm texture. Make sure to use a good quality pectin that is specifically designed for making jelly balls.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Jelly balls can be tricky to make, so it is important to follow the recipe carefully. Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately and follow the instructions step-by-step.
  • Cook the jelly balls until they reach the desired consistency: Jelly balls should be cooked until they reach a soft-ball stage. This means that when you drop a spoonful of the jelly mixture into a glass of cold water, it should form a soft ball that holds its shape.
  • Allow the jelly balls to cool completely before serving: Jelly balls should be allowed to cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and become firm.
