Features of making red currant jelly in a slow cooker
For the preparation of delicacies, not only fresh berries are suitable, but also frozen ones. They choose juicy and ripe fruits. Be sure to remove all leaves and twigs. After that, rinse and dry completely on a paper towel.
The solidification of the dessert occurs due to the addition of gelatin to the composition. First, boil and completely cool the water, then pour gelatin and leave until it swells. If instant is used, then it can be immediately poured into the jelly base, without preliminary preparation.
Beat the red currants with a blender until puree. Then squeeze through cheesecloth to remove small bones and skin. Swollen gelatin is heated over low heat and poured into juice. Mix and pour into molds.
Dessert can be prepared without adding gelatin. In this case, the juice is boiled in a multicooker with sugar until thick. Solidification occurs due to the high content of pectin in the fruit.
