So how do you make cherry jelly? Start with product selection. You will need a small amount of gelatin (about a couple of tablespoons), 4 glasses of water, 200 grams of cherries. The pits must first be removed from the berries. In addition, you will need half a glass of sugar. Ideally, this recipe recommends using fresh cherries. But you can also make jelly from frozen berries. Even compote cherries will do. In any case, the dish will turn out incredibly tasty.

How to make your own cherry jelly? Forstart with gelatin. It must be carefully diluted in water. The amount of liquid should exceed the volume of gelatin by about 6 or even 8 times. Use boiled and chilled water. As soon as the grains noticeably increase in volume (swell), drain the excess

liquid.

Next you need to get cherry juice. You can do it by hand with an ordinary spoon or press, as well as using special equipment. In the second case, cherry jelly will turn out to be more tender. But you need to focus on your own preferences. Jelly with berry pulp is no less tasty and juicy.

Do not rush to throw away the remaining cherry pulp after pressing. It will also come in handy in the process of making jelly. Pour it with a small amount of hot water, add granulated sugar. The resulting mixture must be heated on the stove and brought to a boil. Cherry jelly uses both direct-pressed juice and a similar decoction.

The resulting berry sweet syrup must be carefully filtered. Use a piece of gauze folded several times for this. Next, swollen grains of gelatin are added to the syrup. The resulting mixture is heated without boiling, and then combined with juice.

Pour almost finished jelly into pre-prepared molds. The dish is cooled in the refrigerator to the state of jelly. Never put molds in the freezer.

Cherry jelly may contain a small amountalcohol. In this case, it will acquire a wonderful exquisite aroma and unusual flavor. It is also recommended to put a few berries in the molds to decorate the dish. Serve with fresh cherries and whipped cream. This dessert is meant to be eaten quickly. However, many housewives prepare jelly for the winter by rolling it into pre-sterilized jars. Such a product is able to stand for several seasons and delight guests with its rich juicy taste at any time of the year.
