Lemon jelly

Lemon jelly is not only a juicy bright yellow dessert that reminds us of the gentle rays of summer sunshine, but also an extremely healthy treat that helps our body get a mass of missing vitamins and minerals, especially during the cold season. If you look at the composition of lemon jelly, you can find that this tasty product is rich in vitamins of group B, PP, E (TE), C, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and many other vital elements.

However, the benefits of lemon jelly are due not only to the presence of lemon juice in this product itself - a source of vitamin C, but also gelatin, agar-agar or pectin, which also differ in some of the most valuable properties.

Of course, in the culinary piggy bank of each hostess there is more than one recipe for cooking jelly, and each of them differs in its tricks and secrets. But in general, the essence of preparing this gelatinous treat is to combine a fruit base with a sugar, the amount of which each cook can adjust to his taste, and a gelling substance (as mentioned earlier, gelatin, pectin or agar agar).

The subtleties of the process of cooking lemon jelly include a couple of moments, adhering to which, you will definitely get an excellent result. In particular, when choosing dishes for cooking this treat, stop at anything but aluminum, since in it the jelly is almost always oxidized and as a result darkens. Agree, no one will like the delicious lemon jelly, but unsightly color.

It is very aesthetically beneficial to use lemon jelly, if you want to diversify it with pieces of fresh fruit or juicy berries - through a transparent treat, the fruits will look especially appetizing. In addition, before serving directly, such a dessert will look elegant and tasteful if you add a little whipped cream, a ball of creamy ice cream or a sprig of fresh mint to it. And slices of lemon cut into thin circles, sprinkled with sugar, will not only give the finished dish an additional charm, but also strengthen the appetite that has already played out among the guests from just the type of lemon jelly you have prepared.
