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:
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).
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.

Children like fruit jelly very much. Cool, tender, magical taste - immediately childhood is remembered. Let's try to return it for a moment.
To make jelly, take everything that is in a house similar to fruits or berries:
Products (fruits and berries) will be mixed in different combinations so that it is not boring.
To get started, pick up a bag of gelatin and carefully read the instructions. "Dilute in warm water and wait until it swells."
Wow! So we will never end! Thanks to my wife, she’s a cunning person for me (probably because she’s red), she took this process into her own hands.
He puts the diluted gelatin for a minute or two in the microwave, mixes. And so a couple more times. Five minutes later, we have ready-to-eat, fully diluted gelatin.
We prepare the basis for jelly. Pour some hot water into a deep bowl. Pour the cranberries into the water and add sugar to taste.
Take a blender and grind everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Filter the resulting juice or puree through a strainer so that there are no skins and seeds in the jelly.
We dilute cranberry juice with not very hot water and continuously stirring, pour gelatin into it.
Now you can prepare the filling for jelly so that it has the right to be called fruit or berry.
We made four types of filling:
Peel and cut the apples into small pieces, cut the oranges into thin slices, leave the berries as they are, do whatever you want with the prunes, we cut it.
We lay out the filling in deep bowls or cups and pour cranberry juice with gelatin.
We put all the containers in the refrigerator. I didn’t detect time, it froze for half a day.
We get fruit and berry jelly from the refrigerator and enjoy the taste of childhood.
BUT! I completely forgot! If you want to get the jelly from a bowl, put it (a bowl) for 10-20 seconds in hot water, then turn over a plate.
This dessert can be prepared year-round, as at all times of the year there are a variety of fresh, dried and canned fruits. It is advisable to cook jelly with fruits as often as possible, as it is loved by children, useful and always desired at the holiday table. A sweet dish can be prepared from three ingredients, and for a more intense taste, a combination of two or three fruits and, at your discretion, flavors are welcome.
The main components for jelly with fruits will be different types of fruits, here it’s a matter of taste for everyone. For the festive table, jelly is most often prepared from bright fruits, such as: kiwi, oranges, pomegranates, plums, persimmons, and the rest is your imagination. For children and diet food, it is better to take fruits with a more delicate taste: apples, pears, bananas, apricots, etc. In winter, you can even use dried fruits. In the end, you can experiment indefinitely.
Gelatin, pectin or agar agar are suitable as gelling agents. Now on sale there is a granular (in the form of sheets) and instant product. Agar-agar is a plant product that is made from brown algae, but soaked overnight, and only the next day you can cook conceived jelly. The finished jelly turns out to be dense and holds its shape perfectly. Pectin is made from squeezed fruit containing a lot of pectin. It enters the distribution network in packaged form, where instructions for its use are indicated. This gelling agent is less commonly used for jelly, as it holds its shape worse.
For a bouquet of aromas, it is possible for adults to add a little white or red aromatic wine in jelly. The technology for making jelly with fruits is very simple and consists in preparing fruit puree or juice, soaking a gelling agent, mixing, heating, filtering, pouring into a mold and cooling.
This is such a successful combination, there is a sea of \u200b\u200bvitamins, other utilities and a very rich taste is obtained. For the late autumn period the most.

Next, pour the prepared dried fruits in cold water and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, after which time, introduce grapes and continue the cooking process until a beautiful broth appears (another 10 minutes is enough). Strain the finished broth through a colander with marlichka.

Rinse the plums, cut into two parts, remove the stone, immerse in water and cook over medium heat until cooked, avoiding boiling. After removing with a slotted spoon. Now add to the broth the sliced \u200b\u200bfruits of the red dragon, boil together and pulp the pitahaya, remove. Seeds can be left, they look beautiful in jelly.
Pour sugar into the broth, introduce the swollen gelatin and, stirring, bring to a boil. Important! Do not boil, otherwise the gelling ability of gelatin will decrease. Further, if necessary, it can be filtered through marlage, and if there are no special flakes and clots, leave it like that. Cool slightly and pour into curly molds or glasses and refrigerate.

With every bite you will experience a sweet juicy crunch and strong aromas of jelly and pomegranate. The next time you make this recipe, play with the ingredients. If you want more jelly and less crunch, reduce the pomegranate to 1 and vice versa.
Fruit jelly with gelatin is not a dish that I cook every day, because normally I somehow make everything ready-made jelly from bags. You too? But sometimes I want something unusual and non-standard, and then ... The composition of fruit jelly in this case depends on what I have at hand.
In general, I would single out at least two groups of fruits: fresh and canned. Fresh can be ordered in different ways: it is better to squeeze juice out of citrus fruits and apples, and smooth out all kinds of mangoes, peaches and apricots. In canned foods, it is rational to use syrup for gelling, and leave whole fruit slices in it. Naturally, you can mix freshly squeezed juices with syrups. In this recipe I will show two-layer jelly, without mixing, it’s even more beautiful.
It is also important to remember that there are fruits that cannot be gelled. It is fresh pineapple and kiwi. From them it makes no sense to make that juice, that of mashed potatoes. And even if you put a puck in jelly from other fruits, they will dissolve it around you. Canned pineapples do not do this, they can be gelled.
So, prepare fruit jelly with gelatin at home ...
First, pour the syrup from the can and measure how much we have it. I had about 200 ml.
Squeeze somewhere twice as much fruit juice. I brought the figure to 500 ml, purely so that it was more convenient to calculate gelatin.
Now a little theory. Sweet liquids are heavier than unsweetened ones. Therefore, the syrup really pour in a separate layer on the bottom of the glass, and the juice - on top. It is impossible to do the opposite when the lower layer is not frozen - the syrup will pass through the juice and lie on the bottom. Those. if you want to make jelly where the transparent syrup layer is at the top and the opaque from the juice is at the bottom, you will first have to let the lower unsweetened harden, and only then pour the top sweet. But the pair “sweet at the bottom - not sweet at the top” can be poured immediately, and they will not mix.
We calculate the gelatin according to the instructions on the package. Since there may be some amount of liquids that is inconvenient for calculations without a residue, keep in mind the following rule: for the lower, more sweet layer, you should take more gelatin than normal, and for the upper, unsweetened, CAN be less. Those. I have 3 sheets of gelatin on the bottom layer for 200 ml of syrup, and 5 sheets on the top for 500 ml of juice.
Soften gelatin in cold water according to the instructions on the package (normal - 5 minutes). Each liquid has its own portion of gelatin, but then how to divide it?
Wring out the excess liquid and melt the gelatin at the minimum microwave power in series of 15 seconds. Twisted for 15 seconds, mixed, if the gelatin did not completely dissolve - another 15 seconds twisted. In no case do not overheat! Gelatin should dissolve completely and turn into a clear liquid.
In warm gelatin in small portions with continuous stirring, pour the syrup. Not vice versa, it is the syrup in gelatin. If you do the opposite, then the warm gelatin in a colder liquid will harden itself, and not bind it.
We do exactly the same with juice: slowly pour juice into warm gelatin, stirring it all the time.
If canned fruits were large pieces, then cut them into smaller ones. Here I took 4 halves of canned peaches for 4 cups of jelly, i.e. total - 3 whole peaches.
We spread the fruit slices to the bottom of the glass cups and pour them with syrup with gelatin so that the fruits are completely covered.
Pour juice with gelatin over a spoon. If suddenly someone does not know how it is "on a spoon" - its tip rests against the wall of the glass somewhere on the same level with the surface of the lower liquid and begins to pour a thin stream into the upper spoon in a thin stream. As a new liquid level rises, the spoon is gradually raised up.
We place fruit jelly with gelatin in a cold place and let it freeze. For about 6 hours, it grasps even simply in a cold room, in the refrigerator - faster.
Enjoy your meal!
Jelly is that rare dessert that can be eaten in unlimited quantities with virtually impunity. Unlike cakes or pastries, which contain a lot of fats in the form of butter, condensed milk or the same nuts, jelly has very few calories. It is made from fruits or milk, which contain a minimal amount of fat, or do not have it at all.
There are two main types of jelly - based on natural pectin or thickeners such as gelatin or agar-agar. Pectin contains apples, black and red currants, plums, cherry plum and some other fruits and berries. Jelly from these products is very soft and delicate. It is stored for a long time and has a large number of useful trace elements. Pectin itself serves as a kind of “broom”, which removes all waste products from the body.
Jelly from agar-agar or gelatin can be a completely artificial product, that is, include only sugar, thickener, dyes and water. It looks stiff and glassy. Despite the lack of other ingredients, it also bears a benefit. Gelatin and agar agar also bind harmful substances, which are then removed.
There is also a combined version of jelly, when fresh berries and fruits are used for its preparation, and the filling is prepared on the basis of juice and a thickener. Gelatin is most often used as the latter, since agar-agar from algae is not very common in home cooking.
The popularity of fruit jelly recipes is easy to explain. This is the easiest and cheapest way to prepare an interesting and beautiful dessert that will suit all family members.
