Jelly recipe. From gelatin with juice and fruit

Jelly is a healthy product that has remained at the peak of “delicious” fashion for many years. This cool sweetness is loved by both children and adults.

Great news for those who follow their figure. Jelly contains a minimum of calories! Despite the fact that gelatin itself is quite high-calorie (350 kcal per hundred grams), dishes from it are considered dietary. Since for the preparation of a liter of dessert you need only about 15 g of thickener.

For jelly to solidify and decorate the table, you need to know some basic rules of cooking. First you need to properly dilute the product. Most manufacturers indicate on the packaging all the necessary information, but there are some subtleties, without which you can easily spoil the dessert:

  • gelatin is preferably poured with boiled water. After the product "takes" the liquid, it must be darkened over low heat;
  • in order not to guess with the consistency, it is important to observe proportions. If "light" solidification is necessary, use no more than 20 g per liter of liquid;
  • if the recipe requires a dense “marmalade” result, a proportion of 40 + / 1 l;
  • it is also worth taking care of the "temperature" mode. Do not boil gelatin. After such high temperatures, it will not thicken. The same goes for the cold. If you cool the thickener in the freezer, there is a risk of hopelessly ruining the dish;
  • the most important criterion for making a quality dessert (or aspic and aspic, where gelatin is also used) is its freshness. Before buying, do not be lazy and still look at the date of manufacture. Also take a look at the integrity of the packaging. It is unlikely that anyone would like to discover when cooking a packed lump in a bag, instead of a friable product.

How to breed gelatin for sweet foods

A great way to calculate the amount of fluid you need is 1/5. That is, one part of gelatin per five parts of liquid. You can use water, as well as juices, fruit drinks or wine. The swelling process will take about half an hour.

Swollen gelatin must be dissolved. Using a water bath is best suited, which will prevent it from boiling.

Mix dissolved gelatin with the bulk is when both ingredients will have approximately the same temperature. This approach will help to avoid lumps in the finished dish.

Soluble gelatin is much simpler. Cooking information is usually indicated on the packaging and is consistent with the quality of the product. The necessary proportions of the liquid are usually given there.

Cooking savory foods does not bear cardinal differences. The only thing that is important to note: gelatin can be poured into a hot broth, and even boil a little (not for long, otherwise the gelatin taste will be found in the finished dish).

Making jelly at home

To make plain jelly, you need water, sugar, gelatin and fruit (or milk) filling. The gelatin is soaked, according to the proportions, and the desired consistency, and after swelling, draining the excess water, is introduced into the hot base, while not stopping the stirring.

After dissolving the gelatin, the mass is cooled and poured into molds. Hardening time depends on the amount of thickener used.

And in order to free the finished jelly from the forms, you need to dip them in hot water, and then turn over with a plate.

We offer to complicate the task and learn how to cook dessert jelly with gelatin at home.

To prepare a “juicy” jelly you will need:

  • juice - 500 ml (anyone can do it. But it’s worth taking into account that acidic juices may “require” more sugar);

  • sugar - 1 tsp

Cooking time - 2 hours 20 minutes.

Calorie content - 45 kcal / 100 g.

Mix gelatin with juice. Allow to swell for approximately 1 hour. After this time, you need to add sugar to the mass and send the container to a slow fire. Stir better not with a metal spoon. As soon as the gelatin and sugar dissolve, stop heating. It is necessary to prevent the mass from boiling.

The next step is pouring in tins. For decor, you can lay out the bottom of the forms with fruits or berries. First they should be washed, and if necessary, remove the seeds. This is important if small children will enjoy the dessert.

Having spilled the future jelly into molds, it needs to be placed in a cold place for solidification.

If you have to put it in the refrigerator, it is better to cover the forms with cling film so that the smells of the other products do not soak in the dessert.

After solidification, dessert can be removed from the molds. It is best to resort to lowering the molds in hot water. But it is important to ensure that the spray does not fall onto the finished dish, thereby spoiling its appearance.

Serve in combination with ice cream, cream or as a standalone dessert.

Strawberry Jelly Cake Recipe

Jelly is a universal product. It is tasty enough to serve as a separate dessert, and also goes well with ready-made meals. It is often used in confectionery, in particular when baking cakes.

For jelly to serve as an excellent complement to the cake, you need to prepare it correctly, observing all the rules. If the gelatin is soluble, you can, following the instructions on the packaging, immediately start preparing the mass.

If it is ordinary, first you will need to fill it with water and let it stand for a while. A total thickener will need 10 g. The following is a recipe for homemade gelatin from gelatin and strawberries for the cake.

So, gelatin is prepared. In addition to it, you will need:

  • water - 100 g;
  • strawberries - 150 g;
  • 3 tbsp sugar.

Cooking time (taking into account the swelling of gelatin) - 2 hours 20 minutes.

Calorie content - 65 kcal.

Grind the berries in a saucepan, adding sugar, then pour 2 tablespoons of water. Boil a few minutes together. After a little cool, decant excess fluid and introduce gelatin into strawberries.

  • if jelly is supposed to be used as a layer, you need to fill it in a mold and let it harden. Then cut into pieces and put on a cream, then cover with the following cake;
  • and if you have to make cake decorating, he should pay special attention. First, cool to room temperature. Having previously prepared the sides on the cake so that the liquid does not “run away”. Best for this is cardboard rolled up in a ring and stuck in the top cake. It is necessary to fill in very carefully. To harden the cake should be placed in a cool place. After the thickener has set, the sides of the cardboard can be carefully removed.

Pastry Notes

  • if there are fruits in the recipe, it is better to add a little more gelatin. Otherwise, the juice that will be given, for example, oranges, can prevent the thickener from seizing. Which will lead to a fidgety layer inside the finished dessert;
  • you like sweets, but watch your figure, your salvation is jelly. It is non-nutritive and healthy. You can also use a substitute instead of sugar, which will further reduce the calorie content of the dessert;
  • multi-colored jelly looks very impressive in transparent tall glasses. If you fix the glass in an inclined position before pouring the first layer, you can get an excellent jelly “awry”. And to distinguish between colors, you can use the milk layer as an intermediate layer.

In a word, there is no more “creative" product than gelatin. With it, you can create great desserts, as well as beautifully decorate ready-made ones. And the benefits of gelatin in the diet are simply undeniable.

Another jelly recipe is in the next video.

Before starting to prepare a particular dish of gelatin, it must be diluted in water. The most important thing is to learn to do it right. We dissolve gelatin initially in cold water, and then we heat up the solution brought with additional water to the volume we need.

There are some tricks:

  • It is very important to observe all the necessary proportions, this is done so as not to get rubber as a result. If you have 20g of gelatin, then mix them with one liter of water. You end up with dangling jellies. A little more gelatin (from 40 to 60 grams) for the same liter of water, we get jelly, which will need to be cut.
  • Gelatin is not boiled in any case, otherwise it just thickens and that's it.
  • To make the fruit dish look beautiful, and evenly distributed gelatin in the form, it is necessary to finely chop the fruit.
  • Do not cool the gelatin in the freezer, otherwise you will get a crystallized mass.
  • Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date of gelatin, expired can let you and the whole dish.

  • dr.Oetker gelatin sachet 10 g;
  • 200-300 ml of pure water;
  • sugar to taste (from 2 to 4 tsp).

Recipe:

  1. To make jelly, we need juice. And you need to get it from fresh strawberries. There are two ways to do this. The fastest is to squeeze the juice with a juicer. In this case, even if you strain the juice through a grid or gauze, it remains thick, and the jelly does not turn out transparent. However, we get an interesting visual effect - as if “clouds” appear in jelly. It also affects the taste and texture - the structure becomes less glassy, \u200b\u200band my child and I like this option the most, it turns out more "strawberry" or something. However, we also use transparent jelly - it’s just considered a completely different dish.
  2. So, to make jelly with pulp, you need to squeeze the juice using a juicer or press. To get 300 ml of juice, I had to squeeze 300 g of strawberries. By the way, the cake from the juicer is quite juicy and fragrant, and also well chopped ... Feel free to cook a jar of jam from it or use it to make a dessert. With us he walked perfectly with ice cream.
  3. For transparent jelly, we act in a different way: add 500 g of strawberries to sugar and set aside for several hours or overnight to drain the juice. After that, it is enough to clear the juice from seeds by filtering it through a mesh or gauze folded into several layers. However, the seeds do not bother us at all, so I do with them. We get a transparent, beautiful, glowing strawberry juice.
  4. Next, we act the same for both types of juice.
  5. We try and add sugar to taste.
  6. Further, it is desirable to act exactly with the recommendations of the gelatin manufacturer, although usually they differ little from each other. The main thing is that the contents of the bag are designed specifically for 500 ml of liquid.
  7. Pour gelatin into the diluted juice and mix thoroughly. Leave to swell for 10 minutes.
  8. Then we place a container with juice and gelatin on a minimum heat and with constant stirring, cook until the gelatin dissolves. It is important to control the temperature! Jelly should not be heated to more than 60 degrees! However, at minimum heat on the smallest burner, when stirring, gelatin is simply obliged to dissolve at much lower temperatures.
  9. Through jelly or mesh folded in two layers, filter our jelly.
  10. Pour into molds and leave to cool at room temperature.
  11. When it cools down completely, we rearrange it in the refrigerator. In a few hours, the dessert will set well, and it can be served at the table.
  12. How to supplement? Yes, anything! Chopped fresh strawberries, whipped cream or ice cream. And in the "pure" form, it is very well in demand!
  13. Enjoy your meal! I’m sure, after such a culinary experience, you don’t look anymore in the direction of powdered strawberry jelly!

How jelly differs from jams and jams

Jam and jam consist of whole or chopped fruits (berries, vegetables), cooked in sugar syrup or their own juice. The basis of fruit jelly is juices. In finished form, it is a fairly thick transparent (translucent) mass with a pleasant taste and aroma.

How to use jelly

Jelly is used not only as an independent dessert, but also as an excellent addition to meat and vegetable dishes. They can decorate cakes and pastries, salads and sandwiches. True, you can’t use jelly as a filling for pies, muffins, croissants and other flour products, since it spreads when heated.

What you need to make jelly

You can make jelly from almost any berry, fruit, or even some vegetables.

Berries, Fruits or Vegetables

For the preparation of jelly, it is better to take berries and fruits that are rich in pectin substances:, and (especially sour), and, and, and also, and. In addition, a large percentage of pectin is found in the peel of all citrus fruits. Incredibly tasty and beautiful jelly can be prepared from exotic fruits:, and.


When using fruits and berries with a low content of pectin: peaches,, and others, it is necessary to add gelling agents.

For the preparation of jelly, several types of fruits or berries are sometimes taken. For example, they make it from a mixture of juices: apple-grape, gooseberry-raspberry, apricot-orange and so on.

In addition, incredibly tasty jelly is obtained from the juice of vegetables (and chili peppers,) and even herbaceous plants (, and others).

Sugar

On average, 800 g - 1 kg of sugar are put per 1 liter of juice. The amount of sugar added depends on how much pectin is in the juice - the more it is, the less sugar needs to be added.


But this does not mean that, for example, quince, in which there is a lot of pectin, can add a little sugar. Although this jelly hardens, it will not last long. Therefore, it is not worth deviating from the accepted norm of 700-800 grams, with the exception of species prepared with various gelling substances. The amount of sugar added to them can be different, sometimes it is not put at all.

Water

It is diluted with juice that is thick in consistency (from peaches, apricots, plums, kiwi and others).


When adding water, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the jelly will not be able to thicken.

What else is added in jelly

Pectin - as a gelling agent, if it is few in fruits. So, for 1 kg of fruit, 5-15 g of dry pectin will be required. Before adding to the jelly, it is completely dissolved in water.

Important: with prolonged heating, pectin loses its gelling properties, so the solution is poured into jelly 1-2 minutes before the end of cooking.

If pectin is not at hand, it can be replaced. Perfect for this purpose. agar agar  (9-13 gr per 1 liter of juice), gelling mixture " jellyfix"Or ordinary gelatin, which you need to take about 2-3% by weight of the fruit. Just like pectin, gelatin is completely dissolved in a small amount of water and, adding in jelly 5 minutes before the end of cooking, mix thoroughly.

At will add: spices, coffee, cocoa, essences, citrus peels, - as aromatic additives; acids - so that the jelly hardens faster, and to give the taste a special piquancy.

Regardless of what will become the basis of your jelly - berries, fruits or vegetables, they must be thoroughly washed and squeezed juice.


Then, in accordance with most recipes (but not necessarily), the juice is filtered through gauze or a flannel bag folded in several layers, sugar, gelling agents (if necessary), a little water are added. Cook on slow (sometimes - medium, less often - high) heat until cooked, stirring thoroughly and removing foam.

How to understand that jelly is ready

Jelly readiness can be determined in several ways. So, it is time to lay it out in banks, if:
  • it decreased in volume by about 2-2.5 times;
  • on its surface no longer small bubbles are formed, as at the beginning of boiling, but large bubbles;
  • foam is not formed as actively as at the beginning of cooking, and does not spread over the entire surface of the jelly, but gathers in the center;
  • the spoon dipped into it is covered with an even layer of jelly, which flows very slowly on it;
  • a drop of jelly freezes on a cold saucer, and does not spread on its surface.
  To understand how successful the workpiece is is even simpler: if the jelly turned out with a glassy sheen and the same color as the fruits from which it is prepared - the quality is at its best.

Ready jelly (without removing from the fire the container in which it is boiled) is quickly distributed over sterilized jars, rolled up with lids, allowed to cool and stored just like any jam.

Important:  it is better to cook jelly in a large basin with low sides (it boils faster) or a low wide pan with a thick bottom. In enameled dishes with a thin bottom, it can burn.

How to cook "live" jelly
