Compote jelly with gelatin

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a delicious and simple jelly from compote with gelatin? Very simple! Prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take clean water, not from the tap, so as not to spoil the jelly with unpleasant tastes. You can take any compote, store-bought or homemade, freshly brewed or canned. I made jelly from two types of compote - store-bought from white cherries and homemade from cranberries. As an example for the recipe, I chose cranberry compote.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fill gelatin with cold clean water and leave for 15 minutes to swell. Gelatin is better to take for desserts - it is smaller and more transparent. I had the usual coarse-crystalline gelatin of a pronounced yellow color at hand, and it slightly lightened the cranberry compote, gave it a yellowish tint. I had to add some more concentrated juice from the berries. But in the case of pale yellow compote of white cherries, the color has become more saturated and beautiful.

3. Step 3:

   

   Take out berries or fruits from the compote, depending on what the compote is made from, and distribute them into glasses or cream bowls.

4. Step 4:

   

   If necessary, strain the compote through a sieve to cut off small pieces of fruit. Then pour into a saucepan, put on medium heat and bring to a boil. If necessary, add sugar to the compote to taste and mix until it completely dissolves. I originally had a sweet compote, so I didn't add extra sugar so that the jelly wouldn't turn out to be sugary.

6. Step 5:

   

   You can dissolve the swollen gelatin in a separate saucepan over low heat until the crystals completely dissolve. But it is not necessary to do this, because well-swollen gelatin will quickly and without lumps dissolve in boiling compote.

7. Step 6:

   

   Slightly cool the compote with gelatin and pour into glasses or cream bowls with berries. It is not necessary to pour hot compote immediately, because from a sharp temperature drop, glassware for jelly can crack.

8. Step 7:

   

   Completely cool the dessert at room temperature, then refrigerate for 4-5 hours, preferably overnight. Enjoy your meal!
