Agar Jelly Dessert

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make jelly dessert from agar-agar? Prepare the products. My strawberries are frozen, there is no need to defrost them beforehand. If the berry is fresh, then sort, wash and dry it. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the strawberries in a saucepan, add 100 ml of water and sugar to it. Agar-agar in another container, pour 250 ml of water and set aside for now.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put a saucepan with strawberries on medium heat, bring to a boil and boil for one minute.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then drain the broth through a strainer, throwing the berries on it, you can use them as desired — add to jelly or not.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour water with agar-agar into the resulting syrup, return the pan to the fire. Bring the mixture to a boil, boil for a minute or two. This agar differs from gelatin — it can be boiled, it is during boiling that agar reveals gelling properties. And gelatin, on the contrary, is destroyed by boiling.

7. Step 6:

   

   This is optional, but I put some frozen strawberries on the bottom of the cups. Or, alternatively, you can put boiled berries if they have retained their shape. I filled the berries with a small amount of hot syrup with agar-agar and put them in the refrigerator.

8. Step 7:

   

   After 20 minutes in the cold, the berries have already "grabbed", and this allowed them not to pop up when filling the cups to the brim.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour the syrup into the cups until the end. Put them in the refrigerator and keep them until completely solidified. Enjoy your meal!
