Dried fruit jelly can be an excellent dietary snack for those who are on a diet or trying to get rid of extra pounds. Keep in mind that in these cases you need to brew an unsweetened fruit drink.

Ingredients

Preparation

You can use any dried fruit. Dried pears, apples and raisins go well together. The result is a tasty and quite filling drink that is quite easy to brew at home.

    First you need to prepare the dried fruits. Take any at your discretion. Rinse them under running water and dry.

    Then pour them into a cooking container, add water there and send to the fire. Bring the liquid to a boil and then cook the dried fruits for another five minutes.

    The ingredients should become soft. They need to be thrown into a sieve or colander, but do not drain the water from the broth, we will need it. Place the fruits in a blender or mixer bowl.

    Grind the dried fruits until smooth.

    The fruit pulp should be transferred to a saucepan with the broth and stirred thoroughly.

    After this, add a little sugar and send the container to the fire. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. After this, boil for one minute.

    In a separate glass you need to dilute the starch with a small amount of water (1 glass).

    Set the heat to minimum and pour the diluted starch into the fruit mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly to avoid the formation of lumps. Heat the liquid until light bubbles appear and turn off the heat, otherwise the mass will become liquid. Sprinkle sugar on top of the liquid to prevent a film from forming.

    All that remains is to cool the thick jelly and put it in bowls. You can decorate the treat, for example, by adding slices of lemon. Dried fruit jelly turns out to be a full-fledged dessert, not a drink, so it can easily become an excellent option for an afternoon snack. As you can see, the dish is very easy to cook. Bon appetit!

How to cook jelly from a pack correctly

When the season of berries and fruits ends, you can prepare jelly from a pack. Such a product has both its fans and opponents. Of course, it’s difficult to compare a drink from a pack with a natural product, but thanks to berry and fruit powder, it’s quite possible to make delicious jelly.

Before using the contents of the package, pay attention to the composition of the product. It should contain only natural extracts of berries and fruits. Also check the expiration date and carefully read the instructions.

Cooking method:

  1. Pour water into the pan. Pour the dry mixture into a bowl and also dilute with water (200 ml).
  2. As soon as the liquid boils, pour in the composition obtained from the powder, stir and cook for two minutes until thickened.

Despite the fact that jelly is a native Russian drink, it is also loved by residents of other countries. It is better to cook it from natural products, because this is the only way you don’t have to worry about the presence of dyes and other “chemicals” in the composition.
