Making a delicate, low-calorie and healthy dessert in the form of marmalade at home is a snap. As a basis, you can use berries or juice, fruit drink. For a light, refreshing strawberry marmalade, use fresh or frozen strawberries.
It is necessary
- Products:
- • Berries (strawberries, blueberries, currants) - 350 grams or ready-made juice (fruit drink) - 200 ml
- • Water - 50 ml (optional, if the berries are not juicy)
- • Granulated sugar - 100-110 grams
- • Agar Agar - 1 full teaspoon
- Dishes:
- • Stewpan
- • Molds for chocolate or ice
Instructions
Step 1
If you use fresh berries, then you must first grind them with a blender until they are puree. In the event that fresh berries or fruits selected for marmalade are not very juicy and the puree from them turns out to be thick, then add about 50 ml of water.
Step 2
The resulting strawberry puree or ready-made fruit juice (juice) must be divided into two parts: 50 ml and 150 ml. Measure out the agar-agar with a dry spoon and mix with a smaller part of the juice or liquid berry puree. The agar should swell in the liquid for about 10-15 minutes, but do not leave it on for more than half an hour.
Step 3
While the agar-agar swells, the remaining juice (150 ml) is poured into a saucepan, granulated sugar is added and the syrup is boiled over medium heat. To maximize the preservation of vitamins in strawberries or in another base used, marmalade is boiled only until the first bubbles appear.
Step 4
As soon as a weak boil appears, a mixture of agar-agar with juice is poured into a saucepan and stirred thoroughly with a spatula, not allowing it to burn. Agar-agar must necessarily boil, unlike gelatin! It takes about 5 minutes to boil the marmalade.
In hot form, the marmalade will be liquid, but it sets instantly with the correct proportions of ingredients. Therefore, as soon as it boils a little, it is immediately poured into molds. Better to use simple, silicone or plastic ice molds. As a last resort, you can pour it into a regular container and, after hardening, cut the finished marmalade into curly pieces.
Step 5
Leave the hot marmalade on the table at room temperature until it cools down, then the molds can be rearranged in the refrigerator. Remove the finished gummies and sprinkle with fine sugar if desired.
