  Mandarin / Orange gelly (Winter) OR Watermelon (Summer) Watermelon gelly (Summer) - The seasonal gelly is a typical dessert of the region, very simple to make but extremely tasty. The original recipe includes the use of watermelon, unfortunately available only in summer. For this reason the Sicilians have created variations based on seasonal fruit, in particular orange or mandarin are used during the winter months. ************ Melon jelly, or rather watermelon jelly, is a fresh, delicate and light spoon dessert consumed by Sicilians to cool off during the summer. It is improperly called melon jelly due to the translation of the term "muluni" which in Sicilian dialect indicates watermelon. It seems that the recipe dates back to the Arab domination and is very popular in Palermo, where the watermelon plays a very important role especially during the period of Santa Rosalia that takes place in Palermo on July.
