Strain the juice and mix it with the sugar, rind and 340 ml of water in a large saucepan Now place the bowl of water which contains the gelatine/ agar agar in a double boiler and stir until the gelatine completely dissolves.
Bring the contents of the saucepan to a slow boil and stir till the sugar dissolves Reduce the heat and incorporate the gelatine solution too into the boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes or so.
