Introduction

This Dreamsicle Jelly captures the nostalgic flavor of the classic frozen treat in a sweet, spreadable form. Fresh orange juice, vanilla, and a touch of creaminess come together in a jelly that tastes like sunshine on toast. It’s perfect for spreading on biscuits, layering in desserts, or gifting in pretty jars.

Ingredients

4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice

4 cups sugar

2 vanilla beans, split and scraped (or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract)
