How to cook jelly from jam: a step by step recipe
Necessary components for the dish:
- potato starch - 6 large spoons with a slide (you can slightly more);
- fresh raspberry jam (not boiled, twisted with granulated sugar) - from one glass (add at your own discretion and taste);
- purified drinking water - from three liters;
- citric acid - add as desired (at the tip of the knife);
- granulated sugar - from two large spoons (to taste and desire).
The process of making fruit drinks
Before you cook jelly from jam, you should first make a tasty and sweet fruit drink. To do this, you need to take a large pan, pour purified drinking water into it, boil, remove from heat, and then put out a sufficient amount of fresh raspberries, mashed with sugar. If there was no such jam in the house, then instead of it you can use a similar product from currants, gooseberries, cherries, berries, etc.
It should be especially noted that if the raspberry fruit juice is not sweet enough, then it is recommended to add a little granulated sugar to it. After that, the aromatic and tasty drink should be slightly cooled, and then filtered through a fine sieve. This procedure will deprive the fruit drink of unnecessary pieces of berries, which is extremely necessary for the preparation of kissel.
The process of breeding potato starch
As you can see, raspberry jam jelly is prepared in stages. In order to give the presented drink the proper viscosity, potato starch should also be added to it . Moreover, its amount must be selected depending on whether you want to get a thicker or, conversely, liquid jelly. We decided to take the average value of this product. It must be poured into 500 ml of boiled water and mixed thoroughly until a homogeneous consistency.
Heat treatment process
After all the components for the drink are ready, you can safely make
jelly from starch with jam. To do this, raspberry juice needs to be brought to a boil, and then, reducing the fire to a minimum, pour a diluted potato starch into it and pour citric acid into it. Next, the drink should be thoroughly mixed with a large spoon to avoid lumps in it. It is not recommended to bring the liquid to a boil. It should be removed from the fire after 3-6 minutes after adding starch water.
How to serve a drink?
Now you know how to cook jelly from jam and potato starch. After the drink is removed from the fire, it must be cooled in air, and then poured into glasses and served to the table in a warm or cold state. It should be noted that raspberry jelly can not only be consumed as a drink, but can also be doused with various meatballs, cottage cheese pancakes and other sweet products.
