What is gelfix
Many people ask themselves: what is jellyfix? A slightly unusual name means a gelling additive. It is a natural product with a high content of pectin, which is obtained from apples and citrus fruits. It is used for making jam and various jams. Unlike gelatin, which is of animal origin, the jellyfix consists only of plant components, which is why it is great for vegetarians and fasting people. This product fully preserves the color, taste and vitamins of berries. Jamfix jam can be prepared in 3-5 minutes.
Composition of the product
Currently, there are three varieties of the product yellowfix (what is it and what is the difference, will be described in detail below). It is distinguished by markings, which are of three types: 1: 1, 2: 1 and 3: 1. It indicates the ratio of fruit and berry components and sugar. These proportions should be observed exactly. The composition of the product of both types is the same, only the concentration of the constituent substances differs. The main components of a vegetable thickener are pectin, citric acid and powdered sugar. A small content of sorbic acid is allowed , it is a herbal preservative, which contributes to the long-term storage of products.
Jellfix, classic recipes
Thanks to this product, you can easily make jelly, thick jam or jam. Each pack contains clear step-by-step instructions. First, the fruits are chopped, then the jellyfix is added (which, it was described in detail above) with a small presence of sugar, the mass is brought to a boil and only then the rest of the sugar is added in a strict proportion. It is better not to cut the fruit into small pieces, but to grind it in a blender so that there are no undercooked pieces. This jam is prepared for several minutes, and then freezes to a jelly-like state. Similarly, you can make homemade marmalade. Only it should not be poured into banks, but should be dried in silicone forms. If you need to make jam with slices of fruit, then you should not clearly follow the instructions, but experiment a bit. You can reduce the amount of sugar, but in this case the jam should be boiled a little longer so that the whole mass is evenly warmed up and soaked in syrup.
Here's another traditional recipe for jelly juice with jellyfix. The exact proportions are calculated based on the type of fruit and the content of pectin and acid in them. To get a classic soft jelly, you need the following ingredients: gelfix - 1 pack, 1 liter of juice, sugar is added to taste. The resulting mass is boiled for 3-5 minutes. To check how well the jelly hardens, you need to dip a spoon and see if the mass is draining from it. If so, add another thickener or a few drops of citric acid and boil again.
