Cherry jelly

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook cherry jelly? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The jelly turns out thick, so if you want a thinner consistency, reduce the amount of starch to 2 tablespoons.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cherries, dry them and remove the pits. The most convenient way to do this is with a special stone squeezer. If such a device is not at hand, you can remove the seeds using a wooden skewer. To do this, pierce the cherry with a skewer from the side of the stalk and push out the pit on the other side of the berry.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar to the cherries and leave for 1 hour. During this time, the cherries will release juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil 1 liter of water in a suitable sized saucepan.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the cherries and juice into boiling water. Cook, stirring, over low heat for 5-7 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Dissolve the starch in the remaining 200 ml of water.

7. STEP 7

   

   While stirring constantly, pour the diluted starch into the hot cherry compote. Bring the jelly to a boil and remove from heat. Let it brew.

I made cherry jelly. My cherries are frozen, pitted. According to the author’s advice, I reduced the amount of starch to obtain a more liquid jelly. I didn’t defrost the berries, I poured them into boiling water along with sugar. Usually, after a short boil, I filtered the liquid from the berries, but the jelly with cherries looked so appetizing in the author’s photo that this time I also left the berries in the jelly))). Absolutely summery taste! Thank you, Maria!

I recently made cherry shortbread squares and I had a lot of juice left over from frozen cherries. I decided that I definitely needed to make jelly. I was sure that I would find a suitable recipe on our website. And I was not mistaken. I immediately came across Maria’s recipe, which I took as a basis. I already had cherry juice, I added more frozen cherries, I didn’t take out the pits. And then - according to the recipe) I took less starch, in our family we like jelly that is not very thick. The jelly turned out great, tasty, very aromatic! True, it’s not so transparent, because when I squeezed the juice out of the cherries, small pieces of berries got into the juice. But it didn’t affect the taste))) Maria, thank you for the wonderful recipe that I found so timely. Next time I'll try the recipe. Here is my cherry jelly)))

During the season of fresh berries and fruits, there is so much desire to make desserts. We haven’t drunk jelly for a long time, so I decided that I would cook it. True, I took half as much starch, because... I wanted a more liquid jelly. I really liked the idea of ​​​​cooking jelly directly with berries, it turned out to be a cool fruit dessert) The color is pleasant and the taste is excellent. And most importantly, jelly is a good snack in the summer heat; I even ate it for breakfast with apple pie. Great recipe, thanks!
