Passion fruit jellies

Name: Passion fruit jellies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 2 h 30 min
Yield: 50 pieces
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 150 ml passion fruit juice; 150 ml sugar syrup; 125 g caster sugar; 25 g jam gelling agent; 25 g caster sugar; 1 knob butter; 125 g caster sugar

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
