Jam Gummy Candy with Agar-Agar
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The recipe for making jelly from jam is great because it can be made at any time of year, whether there's a special occasion or not. This delicious treat is perfect for both children and adults. 1. First, put the jam and water into a saucepan or skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Depending on the sweetness of the jam, you can optionally add more sugar during cooking. 2. Pour a small amount of water over the agar-agar and let it sit for about 15 minutes. 3. The jam should soften and blend into a uniform liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent burning, as burnt jam will make the jelly taste bitter. 4. Once softened, pass the slightly cooled jam through a sieve. The result should be a smooth, lump-free syrup-like mixture. 5. Pour the prepared agar-agar into the jam mixture and return the pan to the heat. 6. Stir constantly and cook for about 4–5 minutes, ensuring the agar-agar dissolves completely, then remove from heat. 7. The homemade jelly can be poured into candy boxes, small silicone molds, or one large mold. If you're short on time and want to taste it sooner, place the jelly in the refrigerator to set. 8. Once set, cut the jelly into pieces of various sizes and, if desired, roll them in powdered sugar. Serve the finished dessert.
