How to make fruit jelly for kids. Birthday for children: sweet table

Making fruit jelly is a fun process! Cook this delicious dessert from fruits or berries according to our recipes.

• Gelatin - 1 tbsp.
• Water - 1 tbsp. (200 ml)
• Juice - 400 ml (it is better to take two types of juice 200 ml each)
• Sugar - to taste
• Fruit - optional

The most reliable way to make a good gelatin jelly is to read the instructions on the gelatin package. After all, the gelling properties of gelatin differ depending on the manufacturer and on the type of gelatin. For example, gelatin in plates has a lower gelling ability than powdered gelatin, and the methods for preparing the gelatin mass are radically different.

AT this recipe approximate rates are suggested based on the instructions for a specific powdered gelatin.

1 tbsp pour gelatin with one glass of cold water and leave for about an hour to swell.

Next, prepare the juices, on the basis of which the jelly will be prepared. Juices can be both packaged and homemade. There are no clear limits on the combination of types of juices, it all depends on your preferences. The only thing is that juices that contrast in color will look more spectacular. But if you want to make one kind of jelly, this question should not bother you.

Pour juice into a saucepan (in this case, pineapple), add half of the gelatin mass there. Taste it, if the juice is sour, then add sugar to taste. Heat juice until gelatin and sugar dissolve. Next, pour the juice into containers and send until completely solidified in the refrigerator. Pineapple chunks or slices can be added to the pineapple layer. It is advisable to pour the jelly into transparent cups or bowls.

With the next layer, you need to do the same, pour cherry juice into the pan, add the rest of the gelatin mass and heat until the gelatin dissolves. Carefully pour cherry juice over a well-frozen pineapple layer. Top with berries or fruits.

It is ideal to decorate with those berries and fruits, the juices of which were used in the preparation of gelatin jelly. For example, pineapple pieces should be dipped into a pineapple layer, and cherries into a cherry layer. This will not only decorate the dessert, but also determine the type of jelly.
