How to make jelly from berries?

Jelly - an interesting and not the most common dessert on the tables. For its preparation you can float a lot of different berries.Various recipes allow you to create such sweetness and for quick use, and for the winter.

Jelly differs from jam or jam in that it usually uses fruit juices or mashed potatoes. Therefore, it looks like a homogeneous translucent substance with an attractive aroma and taste. Sometimes in such a dessert specially create blotches of whole berries, which serve as a kind of jelly decoration. It can be used as a self-sufficient dessert, and used as a flavor addition, and along with the “dress” for cakes, cakes and even salads. Jelly filling is not useful, since it still spreads with increasing temperature.

Such a product is obtained due to the pectin contained in the berry fruits, although not all berries have it in sufficient quantity. The more sour the berry, the more this substance is in it. The gooseberry, viburnum and black currant get the best jelly-like appearance. Good indicators for the content of pectin in lingonberries, cranberries, blueberries and red currants, a little worse - in raspberries, garden strawberries and cherries.

Almost no pectin in cherries, strawberries and wild strawberries. Gelatin, agar-agar or the same pectin from the powder are used to achieve the berry jelly consistency. To create such a dessert take fresh forest and garden berries. You can also make it from frozen fruits. Sometimes mashed potatoes or juices of different berries are mixed, which gives the final product an unusual taste and beautiful color.

It will help test whether it is necessary to introduce additional substances into the prepared dessert in order to get the necessary thickness and to keep the shape. It is required to take a glass of glass, two tablespoons of alcohol or acetone and a tablespoon of juice from the berries chosen for making. Juice and alcohol are poured into a glass, shaken and looked what happened.

• If as a result of a chemical reaction, one large jelly-like lump or a pair of clots is smaller, it means that the berries are able to thicken heavily or moderately.
• If a lot of small thick formations appeared in a glass, it means that there is very little pectin in the berries. And if there are no lumps in a glass at all, its quantity tends to zero.
