Raspberries
We suggest you make raspberry jelly. Its bright, cheerful color will cheer you up, the wonderful smell will remind you of a hot summer afternoon, and the refined taste will give unearthly bliss. Moreover, confectioners have come up with a lot of goodies. And therefore, raspberry jelly is made with whole berries, with the addition of wine, assorted with other fruits, etc. The first recipe will teach you the wisdom of making goodies with berries. You will need: raspberries 300-350 g, 25 g gelatin, 450 g natural clarified grape juice, about 200 g bitter liquor or weak berry tinctures, half lemon juice and fresh lemon balm leaves. To make raspberry jelly beautiful, choose large, hard, fragrant yellow and red berries for it. Gently wash them and put them on a sieve to drain. Dilute gelatin in 4 tablespoons of juice, let it dissolve. Pour the remaining liquid components into the pan, mix, let cool. Cut lemon balm into small strips. Put the berries in a bowl, sprinkle with lemon balm and pour in a mixture of juice, liquor and gelatin. Put the dessert in the cold so that the raspberry jelly “seizes”. After about 5 hours, the excellent treat is ready!
Rainbow on the table
A wonderful assortment of rich colors and taste will work if you make jelly from a mixture of several juices. For example, raspberries and citrus fruits, raspberries and apricots, etc. Let us dwell on the first option. Squeeze a glass of juice from freshly picked berries. Although, to make this raspberry jelly, the recipe also allows canned berry syrup in its own juice. In addition, you need the same glass of orange or tangerine juice . As well as 25 g of gelatin and about a glass of sugar. Divide the amount of gelatin in half. Pour one part into a saucepan with raspberry component, the other with orange. Wait until it swells, then put on fire. Pour half a glass of sugar into each container and wait for it to dissolve, stirring the mixture all the time. Pour one kind of juice in a bowl or vase first, wait until it hardens, then add another. Place the containers in the refrigerator for a complete "setting".
Peach joy
In the same way, another refinement is made - peach-raspberry jelly with gelatin. But, unlike the previous version, sugar should be put in it much less, otherwise it will turn out sugary. The taste will be original if you take 2 types of red juice, for example, raspberry and cherry. And the peach layer will be in the middle. As an option, mint jelly is also suitable. True, you will have to buy it already in the store, dissolve according to the instructions and add to the main dish. But you can decorate with fresh berries of raspberries, strawberries, currants!
