Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make jelly from jam with gelatin? Prepare the products. Any jam will do, but it is preferable that it be liquid — it will be easier to mix it with water. I have cherry. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste and the sweetness of the jam.
Step 2:
Pour gelatin into a bowl and pour 150 ml of clean cold water. Stir and leave to swell. Which gelatin is suitable? Any, I used instant, you can take the usual. Only the swelling time will depend on its type. The instant one swells almost immediately, while the other one is left for the time indicated on the package (it usually varies from 20 minutes to 1 hour).
Step 3:
Take a saucepan of a suitable size, pour the jam into it. Pour in the sugar. Once again, you can reduce or increase the amount of it, depending on your preferences.
Step 4:
Boil the remaining 500 ml of water. Pour hot water over the jam in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Step 5:
Put the swollen gelatin in water with jam.
Step 6:
Put the saucepan on a small fire and, with constant stirring, wait for the gelatin to completely dissolve. As soon as this happens, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 7:
Cool the resulting broth to a warm state and pour into suitable serving molds. I poured it through a sieve to remove the berries that were in the jam (if the berries are whole and beautiful, then you can leave them). At the same stage, you can, on the contrary, put fresh or frozen berries in the broth (defrost them beforehand, drain the juice).
Step 8:
Put the jelly in the refrigerator until it cools down and stabilizes. It will take about 2-3 hours. I kept the jelly all night. Serve to the table directly in a bowl or put it on a plate. To make it easier to do, hold the jelly mold in hot water for a few seconds. Bon appetit!
