the science of jelly
Well it was mr dan’s birthday at the weekend and what better way to celebrate than making a good old fashioned raspberry jelly.
I got a nice copper jelly mold at the local car boot a couple of weeks ago and thought this was a good excuse to try it out.
So here are some super pictures of my jelly endeavour…
stage 1, cutting jelly block into cubes and mixing with hot water
stage 2 adding fruit to molds in readiness for the liquid jelly
stage 3 in the fridge setting
and the end result…
as you can see it didn’t quite work out :-(
i think it was a combination of not enough gelatin, too much fruit, too much liquid and not enough setting time ( needing more than 24 hours as it’s a rather large mold)
Still it did taste rather good and well looks aren’t everything! heheh
I will try it again, maybe even try it with a cake batter in like a bundt cake ….
