Homemade jelly made of jam and starch

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook jelly from jam and starch? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Jam is suitable for any, homemade or store-bought. I have homemade cherry jam. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Depending on the sweetness of the jam.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the jam in a saucepan. Pour in clean boiled cold water. For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the saucepan on medium heat and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, remove the saucepan from the heat. Cool the broth.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wipe the resulting mixture through a sieve together with the liquid. Pour sugar and lemon juice into the broth. Mix it up. My jam was sweet, so I poured only two tablespoons of sugar. And I added lemon juice to balance the taste of the finished jelly. If you have sour jam, for example from lemon, you can add more sugar to the broth, but do not add lemon juice at all. Focus on your taste and features of jam.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour part of the mixture into a glass and dilute potato starch in it. Depending on the desired thickness of the jelly, you can add 2 or 3 tablespoons of starch. If you use corn starch, then you need to take it about 1.5 times more, since it is weaker than potato starch.

7. Step 6:

   

   Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil again. With constant stirring, pour in the diluted starch in a thin stream. Cook the jelly with constant stirring until the desired density.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cool the finished jelly from the jam under the lid. Then pour into glasses and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
