Pina Colada Fruit Jellies Recipe

Pina Colada Fruit Jellies Recipe

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Mott's® Natural Applesauce
  • 1 (3 ounce) package pineapple-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
  • 3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
  1. Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-fat cooking spray. Place dish in refrigerator.
  2. Combine granulated sugar, applesauce, pineapple-flavored gelatin, unflavored gelatin, lime juice, and coconut extract in saucepan.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat, and cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes. (Do not pour boiling hot liquid into a chilled glass dish.)
  4. Remove baking dish from refrigerator, and pour warm mixture into the cooled baking dish. Refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours.
  5. When firm, remove from refrigerator, lift one side with a spatula, and turn out onto a cutting board or parchment paper sprinkled with granulated sugar.
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut gelatin into squares or use a small cookie cutter for decorative shapes. Coat the jellies on all sides with sugar. Place on a rack, and allow to dry overnight.
  7. Store in an airtight container.
