Ingredients

  • Gelatin - 20 g (or 2 packs)+ -
  • Jam - 3/4 cup + -
  •   - 1 liter + -

Cooking

This is a basic recipe, having mastered that, you can easily vary and complement the basic composition, as well as experiment with the form and supply. It happens that we face a more concentrated product, and then instead of 1 tablespoon, 1 tea is enough. Sometimes he needs to stand for 30 minutes, and sometimes 5 is enough.

  1. Gelatin is soaked in the proportion indicated on the package, as a rule, it is 1: 6 and leave to swell.

It is best to do this in a small metal dish, because immediately after the time, we put it on fire.


  1. We dilute the jam with water to the desired taste, remember that the cooled dessert becomes less sweet.

If necessary, filter it through gauze. So it is better to do with jams of black or red currants, raspberries or apples, so that the resulting compote was without pulp and cake.

  1. Then, we warm up the swollen gelatin until complete dissolution, stirring continuously and making sure that it does not boil in any case, otherwise the gelling properties will disappear.
  2. Strain it through a sieve to avoid undissolved lumps and pour it into the juice from the jam. All is poured into molds or fill one large cake pan.

It will be easiest to remove jelly from silicone molds, and metal or plastic will need to be dipped in warm water for a few seconds so that the mass has moved away from the edges.

  1. Putting everything in the cold for 3 - 6 hours. If the weather allows, put on the balcony, if it's warm outside, first cool the jelly at room temperature, and then remove it in the cold.

Serve dessert, decorating it with whipped cream or fresh berries and fruits.

Ideas for krativschiki

We reviewed the recipe for making jelly from jam, which requires straining - we don’t return cake in it, of course.

But if in front of us is a transparent cherry syrup with tidy berries or apricot jam, where delicious halves are floating, we can catch them nicely spread out at the bottom of the form before pouring jellies into it.


  • In addition, fruit and jam can be combined! For example, if we do not have suitable berries from blackcurrant fruit drink, we can lay out the bottom of the form with slices of bananas or kiwi, pour them over 2 - 3 cm and cool.


  • Then, put the raisin grapes, pour the jelly over a few centimeters again and let it harden again.

Repeat the procedure with different fruits until the place is empty on the form. Then add the remains of morse withgelatin and put on the cold for a few hours. So we have a great fruit jelly from jam.

Layered dessert

Similarly, we make a multi-layered dessert.

  1. For 2 packets of gelatin we take ½ cup of one jam, ½ cup of another jam and a glass of fruit yogurt.
  2. We select jam or jams of contrasting colors so that the jelly looks more attractive. For example, cherry and apple or apricot and raspberry.
  3. Gelatin soaked, fruit drinks are diluted and, if necessary, filtered.
  4. Gelling mass dissolve and measure out 1/3 part. It is added to the juice, which will become our top layer.
  5. Optionally, add fruit or fresh berries, fill it and give “grab”.
  6. The second layer will go yogurt, to get the alternation of not only color bands, but also tastes.
  7. Also we act with the 3rd layer. After we take the jelly out of the mold, we will have a very beautiful, completely natural and healthy product. It can be served with ice cream, milkshake or fruit. Enjoying friends!


Well combined with each other layers of cherry jam with chocolate mousse or apricot coffee or yogurt.

In addition to a separate dish, we use jam jelly as decoration.

  1. Especially tasty will combine it with homemade cheesecake. For him, we need a split form.
  2. We use 400 g of crushed shortcake as a bottom layer or we bake a thin biscuit cake, this option is less calorie.
  3. We spread on top of 450 - 500 g of cottage cheese, mixed with a glass of heavy cream and 15 g of gelatin dissolved directly in them.
  4. Due to the fact that there is no excess liquid in the curd - only cream and no water, it will “catch on” very quickly.
  5. We put on the frozen cheesecake fruit or assorted from them and pour jelly from ½ cup of any jam and 1 tbsp. water.
  6. After 2 - 3 hours, when the jelly hardens for sure, we take the cake out of the mold and serve it, cut it into portions.
