Fruit Jelly

 
I've some grapefruits brought by a friend and tried this jelly which I've been wanting to try since ages ago. The grapefruit is sour so this is one of the ways to sweeten it. My sons enjoyed the jelly so much more than the original fruit.
 
Can you tell between the two photos above & below which are the real fruit... sure you can....!
I didn't sieve the fruit juice after squeezing it and purposely made my jelly with coarse flesh of the segments so that it looks real and also keeping some fibers for digestion.

Thanks to both Nor & Yani for sharing this brilliant idea.

(Translated into English with slight modification)
INGREDIENTS:
2 Grapefruits (can replace it with Oranges)
4g Jelly Powder
500ml (200ml Water + 300ml Grapefruit Juice) 
80g Sugar - originally 50g but increased bcoz the fruits are a bit sour 
A pinch Salt - forgot to put in

METHOD:
1. Cut fruit into half & squeeze the juice out.
Remove any remaining flesh and get a clean 1/2 grapefruit/orange skin as a mould.
Measure the juice and water to obtain 500ml.

2. Place the juice & remaining ingredients in a pot.
Cook & stir until boiled.

3. Scoop jelly into the fruit skin & let it set.
Chill & slice.
