Jelly from berries with gelatin - the basic principles of cooking
To jelly frozen and well kept its shape, it is necessary to properly dilute the gelatin. As a rule, manufacturers indicate on the package the amount of liquid for which the package is designed. Many housewives buy ready-made jelly, which you just need to dissolve in water, pour into the form and send in the fridge to freeze. However, this product often contains preservatives and dyes, so it is better to make jelly yourself.
Gelatin is poured with cooled boiled water and left for some time to swell. The dishes with the product are then placed in a slow fire or water bath and kept until it is completely dissolved.
The amount of gelatin taken, depending on the desired density of jelly. For easy solidification per liter of liquid, no more than 20 g of product is used, for dense jelly, the amount of gelatin is increased to 40 g.
When the dissolved gelatin is combined with the base, the temperature of both ingredients should be the same.
Jelly is prepared on the basis of juice, drinking water, milk, compote or sour cream. The amount of sugar is added to your taste. So, if jelly is made from sour berries, sugar is added more.
For flavor, vanillin, citrus zest or other flavor is added to the base.
