Description
Create vibrant and colorful suncatchers using seasonal fruits and herbs that brighten up your home and tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of assorted seasonal fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi)
- Fresh herbs (e.g., mint, basil)
- 1 cup of honey or agave syrup
- 2 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of gelatin (optional for firmer texture)
- Optional: Edible flowers for extra charm
Instructions
- Prep the Fruits and Herbs: Wash and slice your fruits into small, manageable pieces. If using herbs, gently rinse and pat them dry.
- Create the Gelatin Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the water and honey over medium heat. If using gelatin, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir until dissolved and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly but not solidify.
- Assemble the Suncatchers: In a baking dish or silicone mold, arrange your fruit and herbs in a decorative pattern. Pour the honey-water mixture over the fruits and herbs, ensuring everything is well-coated.
- Chill and Set: Place your filled dish in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For a more solid texture, let it set overnight.
- Remove and Enjoy: Once set, gently remove your suncatchers from the mold or baking dish. Use a sharp knife to cut into different shapes if desired.
Notes
Customize your fruits according to what’s in season and experiment with different herbs for unique flavors.
