Tips and tricks for making clear jelly

— You can prepare jelly not only with gelatin, but also with other thickeners, such as agar-agar and pectin.

— To prevent the jelly from losing its shape and melting, it must be placed in the refrigerator.

— To avoid mold, it is enough to put parchment paper soaked in alcohol on the jelly.

I accidentally came across this delicious way to decorate jellies and desserts. I really want to try it!

basic tools (depending on the type of flower they vary):
teaspoons of different shapes and sizes, medical syringes (according to the number of colors), knives with blades of different widths, food coloring, gelatin, milk, water, a clean damp cloth, a jelly mold
spoons are used for petal flowers, knives for chrysanthemum-type flowers. in the photo the jelly is already colored

First, make a transparent jelly in water (add sugar and citric acid), leave it to harden in the mold overnight.

Next, soak the gelatin according to the instructions and dissolve in a water bath. mix with milk. divide into several parts (according to the number of colors) and add dyes (I tinted them in 3 colors, as can be seen in the top photo)
BUT! My first attempt was unsuccessful because the petals of the colored jelly were not clearly visible in the transparent jelly, since they were also transparent! And this time I already added milk to the tinted jellies for dullness and opacity.

draw the tinted jelly of the required color into the syringe
and then everything depends on the type of flower.
if it is a chrysanthemum, then use a knife as a mold for the petals
carefully pierce the transparent jelly, and using a syringe, pour the colored jelly into this cut. Immediately wipe off any paint that appears on the surface with a damp cloth soaked in ice water. Petal flowers are made with a spoon. Depending on the position of the spoon, the flower itself changes.
We make the middle of the flower with several injections of a syringe in yellow (if the center is large, like daisies or sunflowers, then first we draw a circle with a needle. Then we fill this circle with injections.)

use a spoon to make petals
Use a spoon of a different shape to make leaves

let it harden a little and fill it with milk jelly of any color (I chose the wrong one). You can add fruit purees to this milk jelly.
the best background is white or light green.
carefully fill all the petals and leaves with colored jelly, otherwise the flower will look like it’s torn.
Excess paint must be washed off immediately, otherwise the paint will be absorbed and distort the design.

This extraordinary dish appeared several years ago and immediately became a real hit. They admired it, presented it as a gift, and tried to find out all the subtleties of cooking from the craftswomen. Now every housewife can prepare a luxurious flower in jelly. You don’t need any special skills to do this, just follow the step-by-step master class.

Edible bouquets

Every self-respecting housewife always tries to surprise her guests. Delicious 3D flowers in jelly look completely natural and cause a lot of exclamations of admiration. Amazingly beautiful bouquets placed on a plate seem like a real work of art, difficult to execute. Let this remain a little secret of every craftswoman, but all their preparation actually takes no more than twenty minutes.

Let's prepare the “canvas”

By this we mean a base, transparent and quite dense, in the center of which the flower will subsequently form.

• It is advisable to cook it in a transparent container (glass, plastic), through which the flower in the jelly will be clearly visible.
• For consistency consistency, it is necessary to observe the proportions - 10 grams of dry gelatin per 200 milliliters of water.
• A clean transparent “canvas” can be painted in different shades to suit your taste, but many prefer to leave it in its original form to facilitate subsequent work.
• In order for the base to be tasty, but not cloudy, add sugar (40-50 grams) and a teaspoon of lemon juice.
• Pour the required amount of water into the gelatin and let it swell.
• Heat the mass, dissolve sugar in it, add lemon juice, no need to boil, just warm it up to eighty degrees.
• Let the “canvas” cool a little and put it in the refrigerator.

Base for petals

It is better to color the flower in jelly using natural juices (beetroot, carrot, spinach juice), and regular milk is added to make the consistency thicker. Without it, thin delicate petals will not be so graphic, but there are several important aspects to consider here:

1. Milk does not like acid, and when interacting with it it quickly curdles, so it is better not to use orange, cherry, lemon and other strongly acidic juices in this situation.
2. The consistency should be as concentrated as possible, so it is better to prepare the dyes (squeeze the juice) yourself. This way, 3D flowers in jelly will look especially rich, and the dessert will become extremely healthy.
3. We continue to maintain the proportions (10 g/200 ml), pour gelatin with water, let it swell, and heat the milk separately; it is not recommended to boil it.
4. Combine milk with swollen gelatin and juice; the total liquid ratio should be no more than two hundred milligrams; if diluted too much, the petals may harden poorly and not hold their shape.

Forming a bouquet

All necessary components are prepared. You can use your imagination and create luxurious, fresh flowers in jelly. We’ll start the master class by preparing the necessary equipment and all the ingredients. We will need:

1. The base is a pre-prepared transparent sheet in a glass container.
2. Tools - an ordinary medical syringe with a thin needle (a ten-cc one is convenient here), a medium-sized knife, several spoons with pointed ends for ease of inserting them into the jelly.
3. Glasses with a multi-colored base for petals. The flower itself in jelly is made in red, lilac, and orange. We use green shades to form the leaves, giving the finished composition even more naturalness.

Master class

To create a flower in jelly in the form of a freshly blossomed living chrysanthemum, we will need yellow and red colors.

• We fill the syringe with a yellow tint and insert it into the base at a ninety-degree angle, gradually releasing the liquid as the needle is pulled out. Droplets that appear on the surface should be carefully removed with a paper napkin.
• We will need 10-15 of these yellow stamens (the middle part of the flower), here it is important not to move the needle inside the “canvas” so that the strip is perfectly even.
• You can start creating petals. Fill the syringe with red and inject it into the base at an angle of forty-five degrees. Gradually press the piston, making horizontal movements with the needle and forming a petal of the desired size.
• The transparency of the container allows you to monitor all the manipulations being carried out. To make the jelly with flowers inside really voluminous, maintain the distance between the petals, visually assessing the result obtained and, if necessary, filling in the remaining gaps.
• Now we’ll change the technology a little; we’ll need a spoon and a green tint. Let's start decorating the chrysanthemum with leaves. We insert the spoon at the same angle with the convex side up, along its upper edge, trying not to violate the integrity of the base, lower the needle and fill the entire resulting slot with green.

Basic subtleties

By changing technology and using additional devices, entire bouquets can be created in this way.

• A spoon is used to form round rose petals.
• To make the petals sharp, dip a thin flat knife blade into the base.
• The flower will look brighter if the upper part (its backing) is filled with white (milk jelly).

All that remains is to remove the resulting masterpiece from the container, hold it in warm water, and turn it over onto a plate. The almost living 3D flower is ready, you can surprise your guests.

We make the basic jelly, it must be transparent. Soak the gelatin in water according to the instructions, heat 250 ml, add the swollen gelatin and stir until completely dissolved, add lemon juice, you can also add sugar to taste, I like sourness, so I don’t add it. Place in the refrigerator overnight.

We make milk jelly, milk is needed for a brighter color. Soak and dissolve the gelatin according to the instructions, mix with warm milk, divide into the required number of parts and add dyes.

Now comes the fun part. Carefully pierce the transparent jelly with a knife or spoon and use a syringe to pour the colored jelly into this cut; immediately wipe off any paint that appears on the surface with a damp cloth. Petal flowers and leaves are made with a spoon. For example, I made this little blue flower.

A knife is used to make sharper petals, resulting in something like a carnation. Green leaves can also be made either sharp (then use a knife) or semicircular (then use a teaspoon). We make the stamens in the middle of the flower by simply puncturing the syringe, lightly pressing the plunger so that the stamen is painted. That's it! Then we simply turn the jelly over and admire the finished flower. Edible flowers for your loved one are ready!
