Jelly Sweets

Jelly sweets are popular confections made from fruit juice or flavorings, sugar, and a gelling agent, most commonly gelatin, pectin, or starch. They are characterized by their springy, chewy texture and sweet taste in a variety of fruit flavors. In the kitchen, they serve not only as a treat but also as a decoration for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. Their vivid colors and attractive shapes make them a popular garnish. They are available in many varieties, sour, sugar-coated, in the shape of bears, worms, or other fun forms.
