Kissel from apples

Any jelly recipe can be slightly modified.So, if you like a particular drink - from berry puree, milk or fruit - but you want to make it not liquid, but, say, thicker, then add more starch. In addition, it should be taken into account that in the first case, the mixture should not be cooked for very long: as soon as it boils and starts bubbling, immediately turn off the burner and remove the dishes from the stove. To prevent a film from forming on the surface of the jelly, it is recommended to sprinkle it with granulated sugar or cover it with cling film. In general, there are a lot of nuances. But first, let's look at the first recipe. Ingredients:

• 500 grams of sweet apples
• two tablespoons of potato starch
• 3/4 cups of granulated sugar
• two glasses of water

Method of preparation:If you decide to make a thick jelly, this recipe will suit you perfectly. Buy sweet juicy apples, they do not have to be very beautiful. You can use slightly bruised, crushed fruits, because when you cook them, they will lose their attractiveness anyway. Both red and green products will do - decide for yourself which variety to buy. So, wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into thin pieces, having previously gotten rid of the tails, seeds and core. Transfer the fruit to a deep saucepan and fill with water. Then put it on the stove and turn on the burner. Keep in mind that the drink should be cooked on minimum heat, it should not splash in all directions. When the apples become soft and begin to fall apart, throw them into a colander and wipe thoroughly. Then combine the resulting puree with the broth. Add granulated sugar and potato starch here. The latter should first be dissolved in a small amount of warm water. Now put the pan back again, and cook the aromatic jelly until it thickens enough. Stir the drink occasionally and do not make the fire too high. As you can see, the recipe is very simple and does not require any special culinary talents. There are many varieties of jelly, the same applies to the form of its serving. The drink can be served in regular glasses, decorated with slices of fresh apples on top, sprinkled with black or red currants. However, there is another, more original way of serving: wait until the finished jelly cools down a little, then pour it into a deep bowl and put it on the top shelf of the refrigerator. As soon as it hardens enough, cover the dish with a flat plate and turn the jelly over, removing it from the mold. This way you will get a sweet jelly-like dish of apples. You can use whipped cream for decoration. Making jelly is not at all difficult, the main thing is to choose a suitable recipe that you and your loved ones will like. Currant and other berry drinks are extremely popular with modern housewives (especially in summer). Why not diversify your family's menu?

Dense drink "Health" from the dog rose

This recipe will be especially useful with the onset ofcold weather. In the autumn-winter period, when every third resident of the metropolis suffers from a cold, complains of cough, headache and runny nose, rosehip jelly will become an indispensable remedy for fighting colds. It can also be used for preventive purposes, especially since the berries are a source of a huge amount of vitamins: C, E, B2, P, K. And this is not the whole list. In addition, rose hips contain potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, essential oils, calcium and other substances and microelements useful for the human body.

• citric acid - at your discretion
• 50 grams of starch

For decoration:

• several currant berries (fresh or frozen)

Method of preparation:Each jelly recipe is an individual combination of ingredients and a specific technology for their preparation, but in general the steps are similar in all cases. All you need to do is mix first, then cook. Let's try to do it together. So, first pour warm water (take two glasses) over dried rose hips and leave it for a couple of hours. When it swells and softens, get rid of excess liquid: strain it with gauze or a sieve and put it aside, and rinse the product itself under the tap. Now mash the berries with a mortar and transfer to a small saucepan. Add 600 milliliters of cold water here and put the dishes on the fire. You need to cook the rose hips for about fifteen minutes. After the specified time, strain the resulting drink with the previously strained berry broth. Add sugar, add a few pinches of citric acid to your taste. The latter can be replaced with freshly squeezed fruit juice. Then dilute the starch in water and add it to the future jelly. Put the pan on the stove, cook the drink until it thickens. When it is ready, cool it, pour into glasses and garnish with fresh currants. Enjoy your meal!

Sweet apple-sea-buckthorn jelly

Our mothers and grandmothers also cooked jelly, that’s whythe drink reminds many of the times of carefree childhood and is associated with the smile of loved ones. For some reason, modern housewives do not pay due attention to it, preferring store-bought juices, soda and the like. However, nutritionists strongly advise against giving your child "chemicals" to drink, which are abundantly available on supermarket shelves. As doctors warn, this can provoke an increased content of acetone in the baby, allergies and various digestive system disorders. It is better to give preference to more natural drinks. In summer, you can cook compotes and kissels from fresh fruits and berries. The technology for their preparation is very simple and does not take much time. And in the cold season, it is recommended to add additional "vitamin" ingredients, for example, rose hips and sea buckthorn. Let's consider another recipe that is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Second, keep in mind that liquid jelly should be cooked with a small amount of starch - in this case, 25-30 grams is usually taken. Note also that you shouldn't bring the drink to a boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, turn off the burner. To prevent a film from forming on the surface of the jelly later, sprinkle it with sugar after it cools and cover it with polyethylene. Since we will be cooking a thick drink, you will need a lot of starch - take 40-60 grams. To ensure that the product mixes well with the other ingredients, it is recommended to first dilute it in fifteen milliliters of warm water. Then divide the washed apples into large cubes and remove all unnecessary parts from them: seeds and cores. Then pour in water and put on the stove. The fruits need to be cooked until softened; as soon as you see that they are falling apart, turn off the heat. Now take care of the sea buckthorn: rub it through the smallest sieve, then strain it with a piece of gauze folded several times. Combine both ingredients in one pan, sprinkle them with granulated sugar, add citric acid and boil over low heat. About ten minutes after the start of cooking, add starch diluted in water and cook the jelly, stirring constantly. And when it has cooled well, call your loved ones - your beloved husband and children - to taste the aromatic drink.
