Let's make a reservation right away: all the ingredients are indicated in an approximate amount and should be prepared based on taste preferences and strictly following the instructions on the gelatin sachets. concentrated product and then instead of 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon is enough. Sometimes he needs to stand for 30 minutes, and sometimes 5 is enough.

1. Soak gelatin 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 container, since immediately after the time has passed, we will put it on fire.

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

If necessary, filter it through cheesecloth. It is better to do this with black or red currant, raspberry or apple jams so that the resulting compote is without pulp and cake.

1. Then, we warm up the swollen gelatin until it is completely dissolved, stirring continuously and making sure that it does not boil in any case, otherwise the gelling properties will disappear.
2. We filter it through a sieve to avoid undissolved lumps and pour it into a fruit drink from the jam. We pour everything into molds or fill one large form for the cupcake.

Ideas for Crackers

We examined a recipe for making jelly from jam, which requires filtering - of course, we do not return cake to it.

But if we have a transparent cherry syrup with neat berries or apricot jamwhere the appetizing halves float, we can catch them beautifully laid out on the bottom of the mold before pouring jelly into it.

• Plus, fruits and jams can be combined! For example, if we do not have suitable berries from blackcurrant juice, we can lay out the bottom of the form with slices of bananas or kiwi, pour them 2 - 3 cm and refrigerate.

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

Repeat the procedure with different fruits until the form runs out of space. Then add the rest of the fruit drink fromgelatin and set in the cold for several hours. This will make us wonderful fruit jelly from jam.

Multilayer dessert

We make a multi-layered dessert in the same way.

1. For 2 packets of gelatin, take ½ cup of one jam, ½ cup of the other and a glass of fruit yogurt.
2. We select jam or jams of contrasting colors to make the jelly look more attractive. For example, cherry and apple or apricot and raspberry.
3. Soak gelatin, dilute fruit drinks and, if necessary, filter.
4. Dissolve the gelling mass and measure out 1/3 part. We add it to the fruit drink, which will become our top layer.
5. Add fruit if desired or fresh berries, fill it in and let it "grab".
6. The second layer will be yogurt, so that you get an alternation of not only colored stripes, but also tastes.
7. We also do with the 3rd layer. After we take out the jelly from the mold, we will have a very beautiful, absolutely natural and useful product... It can be served with ice cream, milkshake, or fruit. Enjoy friends!

Layers of cherry jam are well combined with each other chocolate mousse or from apricot with coffee or yoghurt.

Besides independent dish we use jam jelly as decoration.

1. It will be especially delicious when combined with homemade cheesecake. For it, we need a split form.
2. We use 400 g of chopped shortbread cookies or bake thin biscuit cake, this option is less caloric.
3. Put on top 450 - 500 g of cottage cheese mixed with a glass heavy cream and dissolved directly in them 15 g of gelatin.
4. Due to the fact that there will be no excess liquid in the curd - only cream and no water, it “grabs” very quickly.
5. We lay out fruits or an assortment of them on a frozen cheesecake and pour jelly from ½ cup of any jam and 1 tbsp. water.
6. After 2 - 3 hours, when the jelly hardens for sure, remove the cake from the mold and serve, cutting into portions.
