Homemade jelly made from jam and starch

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook jelly from jam and starch? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Any jam will do, homemade or store-bought. I have homemade cherry jam. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. Depending on the sweetness of the jam.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place jam in a saucepan. Pour in clean boiled cold water. For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral in taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it may give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, remove the saucepan from the heat. Cool the broth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rub the resulting mixture through a sieve along with the liquid. Add sugar and lemon juice to the broth. Stir. My jam was sweet, so I only added two tablespoons of sugar. And I added lemon juice to balance the taste of the finished jelly. If your jam is sour, for example from lemon, you can add more sugar to the broth, but don’t add lemon juice at all. Focus on your taste and characteristics of the jam.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour part of the mixture into a glass and dilute potato starch in it. Depending on the desired thickness of the jelly, you can add 2 or 3 tbsp. l. starch. If you use corn starch, then you need to take about 1.5 times more of it, since it is weaker than potato starch.

6. STEP 6

   

   Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil again. While stirring constantly, pour in the diluted starch in a thin stream. Cook the jelly with constant stirring until the desired thickness.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cool the finished jam jelly under the lid. Then pour into glasses and serve. Bon appetit!

I made homemade jelly from jam and starch. My jam is made from thorns. I boiled the jam with water for about five minutes so that the berries were better boiled, immediately strained it while hot through a sieve, did not strain it, just squeezed it a little with a spoon. The hot, strained broth was immediately returned to the fire. Added sugar and lemon juice to taste. The starch was dissolved in cold boiled water and poured into the newly boiled broth. It turns out faster this way))) Delicious jelly! Thank you, Maria!

Yes, the jelly made from jam turns out to be very worthy)) Thanks for the idea on how to use the surplus of any prepared jam. You can also add lemon and/or cinnamon to the jam jelly to taste. The thickness of the jelly is also regulated by the amount of starch.
