This extraordinary dish appeared several years ago and immediately became a real hit. They admired him, presented him as a gift, and tried to find out from the craftswomen all the subtleties of cooking. Now every housewife can prepare a luxurious flower in jelly. This does not require special skills, just follow the step-by-step master class.

Edible bouquets

Every self-respecting hostess always tries to surprise her guests. Delicious 3D flowers in jelly look completely natural and cause a lot of admiring exclamations. Surprisingly beautiful bouquets, located on a plate, seem to be a real work of art, difficult to perform. Let it remain a little secret of every craftswoman, but all their cooking actually takes no more than twenty minutes.

Prepare the "canvas"

Under it we will mean a base, transparent and rather dense, in the center of which a flower will form in the future.

• It is advisable to cook it in a transparent dish (glass, plastic), through which the flower in jelly will be clearly visible.
• For the density of the consistency, it is necessarykeep the proportions - for 200 milliliters of water 10 grams of dry gelatin.
• The clear, transparent "canvas" can be dyed to your liking, but many prefer to leave it as is to make work easier.
• In order for the base to be tasty, but not cloudy, sugar (40-50 grams) and a teaspoon of lemon juice are added to it.
• Pour the gelatin with the required amount of water, let it swell.
• Heat the mass, dissolve sugar in it, add lemon juice, no need to boil, warming up to eighty degrees is enough.
• Let the "canvas" cool a bit and send it to the refrigerator.

Petal base

It is better to color a flower in jelly with natural juices (beetroot, carrot, spinach juice), and for consistency density, ordinary milk is added to them. Without it, thin delicate petals will not be so graphic, but several important aspects should be considered here:

1. Milk does not like acid, and when interacting with it quickly curdles, so it is better not to use orange, cherry, lemon and other highly acidic juices in this situation.
2. The consistency should be as concentrated as possible, so it is better to prepare the dyes (squeeze the juice) yourself. So 3D flowers in jelly will look especially rich, and the dessert will become extremely useful.
3. We continue to observe the proportions (10 g / 200 ml), pour gelatin with water, let it swell, and milk separatelywarm it up well, it is not recommended to boil it.
4. Combine milk with swollen gelatin and juice, the total ratio of liquid should be no more than two hundred milligrams, with strong dilution, the petals may harden poorly and not hold their shape.

Forming a bouquet

All the necessary components are prepared. You can turn on your imagination and create luxurious, fresh flowers in jelly. Let's start the master class with the preparation of the necessary equipment and all the ingredients. We will need:

1. The base is a pre-prepared transparent sheet in a glass container.
2. Tools - an ordinary medical syringe with a thin needle (a ten-cube one is convenient here), a medium-sized knife, several spoons with pointed ends for easy insertion into jelly.
3. Glasses with a colorful base for the petals. Red, lilac, orange is the flower itself in jelly. We form leaves with green shades, giving the finished composition even more naturalness.

Master class

To create a flower in jelly in the form of a freshly blossomed living chrysanthemum, we need yellow and red colors.

• Fill the syringe with a yellow tint and at an angle of ninety degrees we introduce it into the base, gradually releasing the liquid as the needle is pulled out. Droplets that appear on the surface should be carefully removed with a paper towel.
• We will need 10-15 such yellow stamens (the middle part of the flower), here it is important not to move the needle inside the “canvas”,so that the strip is perfectly even.
• You can start creating petals. We fill the syringe with red and introduce it into the base at an angle of forty-five degrees. Gradually press the piston, making horizontal movements with the needle and forming the petal of the desired size.
• The transparency of the container allows you to monitor all ongoing manipulations. To make the jelly with flowers inside really voluminous, keep the distance between the petals, visually evaluating the result and, if necessary, filling the remaining gaps.
• Now we are changing the technology a little, we need a spoon and a green tint. We proceed to the design of chrysanthemum leaves. We introduce the spoon at the same angle with the convex side up, along its upper edge, trying not to violate the integrity of the base, lower the needle and fill the entire slot with green.

Basic subtleties

Changing technology and using additional devices, this way you can create whole bouquets.

• Use a spoon to form round rose petals.
• To make the petals spicy, dip a thin flat blade of a knife into the base.
• The flower will look brighter if the upper part (its backing) is filled with white (milk jelly).

It remains to remove the resulting masterpiece from the container, holding it in warm water, and turn it over onto a dish. An almost living 3D flower is ready, you can surprise your guests.
