Jelly


For other uses of this term, see Jalea (gastronomy). A jelly dessert (gelatin) in several colored layers.

Jelly is a sweet or salty edible gel obtained by the addition of gelatin or pectin. Sweet food gels include gelatinous desserts such as Jell-O and white manjar (also known as blancmange or fruit ham). Salty food gels include flat aspic or gelatin.

These are fruit-based pectin-rich, sugar-cooked preparations with a thick but transparent consistency. To extract these juices, the pieces are not peeled or heart and pips removed. They only wash and slice when necessary. After this, they are cooked, with or without water, to soften them and facilitate the extraction of the juice. Then they crush and strain. Notes
