How To Make a Jelly Boat

How about sail to your child's foverite Jelly.

3 large oranges, halved

1 box of Alsa Gulaman (unflavored gelatin)

1 small mandarin orange (fresh or canned)

1 small apple (fresh cut to small cubes)

8 pcs seedless grapes (green or red)

45ml of apple juice

45ml of orange juice

45ml of grape juice

To decorate
12 toothpicks or cocktail sticks
12 cut right triangles wax paper

Variations: you can use other fruits like strawberries, kiwi, on any favorite fruit your toddler likes. You can also just opt to not use fruit and just the juice. Or if you are in a hurry flavored gelatin works too.

When serving to your toddler place each boat on a small plate and take out the toothpicks with wax paper before they start eating.

Instructions:
1. Squeeze the juice out from the orange (reserve 45ml for later) with out breaking the skins. Carefully scrape out the membrane and discard. Place them in a big plate or tray and make sure that each half does not rock back and forth. Tip: you can slice a thin part of the base to hold it up.

2. Make the jelly according to packet instructions. Reduce the amount of water specified by 135ml.
Moving quickly pour the jelly in 3 different bowls or cups and add fruit juices. Stir.
Divide the fruits in the orange halves then fill them with flavored jelly. You can let it set at room temperature or refrigerate until set. 

3. Take a wet knife and cut each orange half in half again. Thread the toothpicks down the center of each wax paper triangle, then set the sail in each jelly.
