Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams raspberries
- 500 milliliters water
- 50 grams sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 10 grams gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with cold water and let it sit to bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries and 500ml of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the raspberries are very soft and breaking down.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Return the strained raspberry juice to the saucepan. Stir in the sugar and lemon juice, and gently heat until the sugar fully dissolves.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
Pour the jelly mixture into serving glasses or a jelly mold and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve the jelly chilled, and optionally garnish with additional fresh raspberries or a mint leaf.
