Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make dessert jelly from agar-agar? Prepare your food. My strawberries are frozen; there is no need to defrost them first. If the berry is fresh, then sort, wash and dry it. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the strawberries in a saucepan, add 100 ml of water and sugar. How to dilute agar agar for jelly? Pour agar-agar into another container with 250 ml of water and set aside for now.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the saucepan with the strawberries over medium heat, bring to a boil and simmer for one minute.

Step 4

Step 4
Then drain the broth through a strainer, throwing the berries on it; you can use them as you wish — add them to the jelly or not.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour water with agar-agar into the resulting syrup and return the pan to the heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, simmer for a minute or two. This is how agar differs from gelatin — it can be boiled, and it is when boiling that agar reveals its gelling properties. Gelatin, on the contrary, is destroyed when boiled.

Step 6

Step 6
This is optional, but I added some frozen strawberries to the bottom of the cups. Or, alternatively, you can add boiled berries if they have retained their shape. I poured a small amount of hot syrup with agar-agar over the berries and put them in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Step 7
After 20 minutes in the cold, the berries had already “set”, and this allowed them not to float when filling the cups to the brim.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour the syrup into the glasses completely. Place them in the refrigerator and keep until completely frozen. Bon appetit!
