Mandarin jelly
Although the instructions for preparation were written on the bag of Želina, they did not suit me as such, so I am writing for the future. There were a lot of tangerines this year, but they needed to be consumed quickly. This is one of the ways I came up with the "problem".
Preparation steps
- Drain the mandarins in a juicer. Strain through a thick gauze. Put to boil with the jelly that we previously mixed in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of sugar. When it boils, add the rest of the sugar. Whole sugar does not have to be added at once but gradually because you may not need everything, and you may need more, depending on the acidity, ie the sweetness of mandarins. Stir in citric acid, which also promotes thickening. Occasionally try so that a few drops are taken out on a plate and cooled. If we are satisfied with the sweetness, do not add more sugar. Add vanilla or cinnamon. Cook briefly, pick up the foam and pour into clean jars (two larger ones fall out). Jars upside down 10 min. It can be used as a spread or as an addition to various cakes, rolls and cakes, and it can also be used with a spoon.
- 21 dl of juice + 3 greens + 1 teaspoon of citric acid + 1500 g of sugar = 4 jars larger and half small.
