Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Gelatin

Start by soaking the gelatin in 90 milliliters of water. This will help it expand and dissolve more easily later on.

Make sure to let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes fully hydrated.

Step 2

Prepare the Blueberry Mixture

Blend 100 grams of blueberries until smooth. You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries based on your preference.

Once blended, add 30 grams of sugar to the mixture. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring periodically, until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Combine Gelatin with Blueberries

After the gelatin has soaked, gently warm it in the microwave for about 20 seconds until it's liquid.

Pour the warm gelatin into the blueberry mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure that everything is well combined.

Step 4

Mold and Freeze the Jelly

Pour the blueberry mixture into silicone molds designed for jelly treats. Make sure they are evenly filled.

Place the molds in the freezer for approximately 35 minutes, or until the jelly is set and firm to the touch.

Step 5

Unmold and Serve

Once set, gently remove the jelly from the molds. Be careful not to break them!

These delightful blueberry jelly treats can be used for various occasions or enjoyed as a refreshing snack.

Faq

  • How do I know when the gelatin is properly bloomed?

    The gelatin should become soft and slightly jelly-like. If it absorbs the water completely and looks like a sponge, you're good to go!

  • Can I substitute other fruits for the blueberries?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries or raspberries. Just keep in mind that different fruits may require adjustments in sweetness and cooking time.

  • What if my jelly doesn’t set properly?

    If your jelly remains too runny, it could be due to not enough gelatin or not heating it properly. Try adding a bit more gelatin next time and ensure you heat it thoroughly when mixing.

  • Can I store the jellies in the fridge?

    Yes, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for best results! They’ll stay fresh for up to 5-7 days. Just hide them well, or they might disappear quickly!

  • How can I prevent the jellies from sticking to the molds?

    A simple spray of cooking oil or a light dusting of cornstarch can help release the jellies easily from the molds.

  • Can I add other flavors to the jelly?

    Indeed! Feel free to add a splash of lemon or orange juice to enhance the flavor. Just be sure to adjust the sugar accordingly!
