This is the recipe jelly - universal, you can make jelly from it using any fruit. Read on to see how easy it is!
To create a universal recipe homemade jelly I decided to create two versions of it.
The first jelly recipe, contains fruits that have large seeds that can be easily removed and made from jelly jelly with fruit pieces.
Second recipe will consist of fine stone fruit, which must be rubbed through a sieve. You will get a smooth, velvety jelly from the juice itself and the pulp from the fruit.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fruit - about 400 g (strawberries, cherries, apricots, blueberries ...)
- 2.5 cups water - 625 ml
- 3 flat tablespoons potato starch
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Let's start with the first recipe, that is, using all the fruits. We should get a delicious jelly with pieces of fruit.
To make homemade jelly with pieces of fruit, prepare yourself 400-500 grams of fruit. I recommend using a mixture of at least two types of fruit. I used a mixture of four types of fruits in similar proportions. These were: cherries, apricots, blueberries and strawberries. I washed the fruit. I pulled out the tails from the strawberries. I removed seeds from cherries and apricots.
What fruits I recommend for this jelly: peaches, mangoes, kiwi, berries, strawberries, pears, apples, plums, pineapple, bananas.
Advice: If you use a lot of sweet fruits in your jelly, like ripe peaches, bananas or sweet apples, then you can put less sugar or remove sugar from the recipe altogether.
Set the stove to medium power and wait for the water with berries to boil, then reduce the burner power and cook everything for about 10 minutes.
The fruit will juice up. They will become soft and partly begin to fall apart. We take another half glass of water. Pour three tablespoons of potato starch into the water.
Stir the starch in water thoroughly and immediately pour into a saucepan with lightly cooked fruits.
Beat the jelly for at least a minute or two, until the jelly boils again and thickens.
Homemade jelly is already ready.
Kissel can be drunk both hot and chilled. It is worth leaving a few fruits to decorate the finished jelly with them.
The second version of the recipe for homemade jelly
I promised to show how I make seedless jelly using fruits that have small seeds. You get a jelly or jelly without pits and without pieces of fruit.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups berries - about 400 g (currants, raspberries, gooseberries ...)
- 2 glasses of water - 500 ml
- 3 flat tablespoons potato starch
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Homemade kissel is made from fruits that have small seeds. I myself used a mix of colored currants and raspberries and tried to maintain equal proportions of fruits. In addition, you can also use: gooseberries, grapes, pomegranate fruits.
Wash the fruits without stalks and tails and put them in a small saucepan. I pour 1.5 cups of water into a saucepan.
I fall asleep two tablespoons of sugar. In this jelly, I recommend adding sugar, as fruits with small seeds are usually quite sour.
Set the burner to medium power and wait for the water with berries to boil, then reduce the burner power and cook everything for about 15 minutes.
The fruit will juice up. They will become soft and partly begin to fall apart.
Pour everything through a sieve into another saucepan. Mash the fruit thoroughly with a spoon so that only the seeds and peel of the fruit remain on the sieve.
I got about 500 ml of strong juice with pulp.
Put the juice in a saucepan on the hotplate. Bring to a boil and reduce burner power.
We collect another half glass of water. Pour three tablespoons of potato starch into the water. Stir the starch in the water thoroughly and immediately pour into the saucepan with the juice.
Beat the jelly for at least two minutes until the jelly boils again and thickens.
Kissel - jelly, without pieces of fruit and seeds is ready.
