Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Grease an 8-inch square pan with vegetable oil. Ensure every corner is coated to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

In a small bowl, place 2/3 cup of cold water. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water and let it stand until softened. (Soaking time: 15 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of water, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Once the sugar is dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the saucepan and continue to boil for 3 minutes. (Boil time: 3 minutes)

05

Step
6 mins

Uncover the saucepan and attach a candy thermometer to the side. Continue cooking the syrup until it reaches 238°F (114°C). (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully stir in the softened gelatin mixture until it is completely dissolved into the syrup. (Mixing time: 2 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Stir in the rose water and red food coloring (if using). Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavor and color. (Mixing time: 1 minute)

08

Step
4 hrs

Pour the syrup into the prepared greased pan. Let it stand at room temperature until the mixture is gelled. (Setting time: 4 hours)

09

Step
8 hrs

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the gelees to fully set. (Chilling time: 8+ hours)

10

Step
10 mins

Once fully set, cut the gelled mixture into 1-inch squares. Dust generously with cornstarch to prevent sticking. (Cutting and dusting time: 10 minutes)

For a stronger rose flavor, increase the rose water by 1 teaspoon.
If you don't have food coloring, you can omit it or use a natural coloring agent like beet juice for a light pink hue.
Store the dusted gelees in an airtight container at room temperature to prevent them from becoming sticky.
Experiment with other floral waters like orange blossom or lavender for unique flavor variations.

    I found them a bit too sweet, so I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and they were perfect!

    The recipe was easy to follow, and the gelees turned out beautifully. Will definitely make again!

    Make sure you grease the pan really well, otherwise they're hard to get out!
