To make a good mosaic fruit glass jelly ensure the fruits used are firm and just ripe. To make the jelly you need 3 to 4 cups of water to about 2 tablespoons of gelatine. However, in this recipe, I use a higher ratio of gelatine to make sure the fruits are well encased.You can use almost any type of fruits to make this mosaic fruit glass jelly . Just remember to avoid fruits that contain bromeliad such as fresh pineapples, papaya, kiwi, guava and fig. Bromeliad breaks down gelatine causing it to lose its thickening properties.
