For strawberry jelly:
- 550 ml. hulled and quartered strawberries
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 8 g instant gelatin
For lime jelly:
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup condensed milk with sugar
- 8 g of instant gelatin
For the melon jelly:
- 4 cups diced honeydew melon
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 15 g of instant gelatin
Preparation:
- Prepare strawberry jelly: Mix the strawberries with sugar. Let sit for 1 hour, then puree in a blender. Pour the gelatin into a bowl with 1/4 cup water; let sit for 1 minute. Heat the strawberry puree in a saucepan over medium heat until hot; then stir in the gelatin mixture. Cool to room temperature.
- Make lime jelly: In a bowl, combine lime juice, 2 tablespoons water, and gelatin; let sit for 1 minute. In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup boiling water with condensed milk, then stir in the gelatin mixture. Cool to room temperature.
- Prepare melon jelly: Blend the melon, 2 tablespoons of water, and sugar. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve without kneading. Combine 1/2 cup of melon juice with gelatin in a bowl; let sit for 1 minute. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup of juice in a saucepan. Stir in the gelatin mixture. Cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the jelly: Grease a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) rectangular baking pan with vegetable oil, wiping off any excess. Pour 1/2 cup of strawberry jelly into the pan; chill for 20 minutes. Continue layering, pouring in 1/2 cup of lime jelly, melon jelly, and more lime jelly, finishing with strawberry, chilling between each layer. Refrigerate the pan and chill until completely set, 3 to 10 hours.
- Dip the jelly mold into hot water for 10 seconds, then turn it over onto a cutting board.
Cut into squares.
