On March 20, 2026, we feel warmth in the sunlight and our hearts are filled with the full-fledged arrival of spring. Today is the “Vernal Equinox Day. This day, on which the length of day and night are almost equal, has long been regarded as a day to honor nature and care for all living creatures. On such a seasonal milestone, it is tempting to spend a little special time. Today is said to be the timing for a major change of fortune among the 24 solar terms, and it is also the best day to start something new. Invited by such spring weather, why don’t you prepare your very own homemade sweets today that will lightly fill your heart and body?

A discussion of recent search trends

The trend is filled with keywords that strongly remind us of “starting out” and “the future,” such as preparations for a new life and announcements of acceptance into a new school, as the “Vernal Equinox Day” approaches. There was also a lot of information related to earthquakes, showing a mixture of heightened awareness of disaster prevention and wishes for a peaceful daily life. I believe that the demand for homemade sweets that are both festive and spring-like, and that can be shared with family members, are exactly what is needed to encourage people who are taking a new step forward.

way of making

Process 1: Laying the foundation: First, make the canvas for the jewelry. In a small saucepan, add 500 ml of water and the agar powder, mix gently with a spatula, and then place over medium heat. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring slowly for another 1 to 2 minutes to completely dissolve the agar. Careful work here will produce a pliable texture.

Process 2: Transparent Brilliance] Add the granulated sugar to the clear liquid and stir carefully until dissolved. Finally, turn the lemon juice and turn off the heat. The lemon juice prevents the agar from becoming cloudy and creates a crystal-like clarity.

Process 3: Cutting the gems] Cut the fruits. Cut strawberries into thin slices, and kiwis and mangoes into 1cm dice. The first exciting step in finishing the jewelry box is to arrange the pieces to a size that will look beautiful in cross section.

Process 4: The magic of temperature: If the jelly liquid is too hot, the fresh color of the fruit will be lost. Place the bottom of the bowl in ice water and let it cool until it thickens slightly (about 40°C).

Process 5: Layering Adventure] Place the fruit in the mold and gently pour the jelly liquid halfway up the height of the fruit. Once chilled in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden the surface, the fruit will not rise to the surface and will be trapped inside the layers, creating a three-dimensional finish.

Pour in the remaining fruit and jelly liquid, and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours to firm up. By chilling it slowly, a beautifully clear jelly like a hope for the future will be completed.

This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points

The biggest trick is to bring the agar to a boil and then maintain a firm boil for 1 to 2 minutes. If it is not completely dissolved, the texture will be rough to the palate after it hardens in the refrigerator. Also, when pouring the jelly solution into the molds, do not skip the “wait until it thickens slightly” step. This slight viscosity is the only magic that allows the fruit to float evenly in the mold and settle as a layer.

The jelly made today will be good for about 2 days in the refrigerator. We also recommend pouring cider over the jelly after cutting it into pieces and arranging it “fruit punch style” for a spring party. May your new season be as sparkling as this jelly!
