Desserts based on natural citrus fresh juice and agar agar are a good option for creating homemade jelly sweets. Grapefruit enriches the taste of marmalade, gives it a piquant, light bitterness and a delicate aroma. By the same principle, you can make a sweet with any citrus fruits. You can use tangerines, kumquats, lime or oranges to make goodies. You can also enrich the taste of jelly dessert by adding a pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon or a spoon or two of coconut shavings to the workpiece.
