For a child, this is a colorful wonder, for parents - popular ingredients, ease and speed of preparation. But, like any dish, this sweet has its own cooking rules, which we will learn about today.
General principles for making chokeberry jelly
As you know, jelly is popular not only in Russia. It takes pride of place mainly on the nursery, no matter what nationality, tables. Originally, jelly was invented in France from the 16-17th century. And you can imagine that jelly became fragrant and unusually colorful only by 1985 in America, thanks to Peru White, who perfected the ingredients of a standard recipe.
The basis of jelly - gelatin, which helps to freeze the desired shape. This takes time, which is also the main “ingredient” of the recipe. This fact is explained by the fact that it depends on time whether your jelly will be beneficial and safe for your health. After all, you can go to the store and buy ready-made gelatin with specific fruits, but they do not carry anything useful in themselves. Many transmissions, doctors and experiments, even at home, have proven that such ready-made jelly bags do not contain natural, chopped fruit. Moreover, trusting unreliable store products, you can poison or poison the child. Therefore, we offer you a safer, older, as they say “grandmother's” way of tasty cooking - a recipe with homemade fruit. Of course, you cannot make gelatin yourself, but in this you can already trust the store products.
