Ingredients:
250 ml 100% pomegranate juice (this one was store bought, but a no sugar added one, possibly other juices would work too, I happen to love pomegranate)
1 package (12 g) of carageenan based 'cake cover' powder, I had Dr.Oetker, probably the pure carageenan or any other mix would work
Chia seeds or other decorative elements, to one's liking
Food colour (I used 3 drops of red, 1 drop of yellow), not necessary at all, I just thought it was turning brown at one point, and I wanted it red/reddish, so I added, I had the colours on hand.
The package instructions call for 2 teasp sugar, which I omitted, and it worked perfectly without added sugar.
Method:
Tastes very clean and very much like a true pomegranate, and the colour is adorable, the translucence works like magic on a child. At least it did on me. Plus it is a very heathly and very light dessert. I think it would be cool to serve at a party. In fact, April hosts a number of family birthdays, so I think I might test the impresivness out. Plus it is super super easy and quick.

Method:
- In a little pot, pour the pomegranate juice and the carageenan powder, mix thoroughly, avoiding any lumps.
- Put on the stove, I was on mark 5 out of 9, bring it to boil, stirring constantly.
- Once it bubbles, take it off and leave to cool off for 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the moulds or glasses. I used a silicon mould. I washed it off with cold water to prevent sticking. Sliding out was perfect, no problem at all.
- Pour the jelly into the moulds. You can sprinkle chia seeds or other deco into the moulds, or not.
- Leave it to cool for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate.
- I had left it in the fridge for several hours.
- Serve.
