If you ever decide to pamper your family with a homemade drink, we advise you to try to stick to recipes tested by generations of Russian women and make homemade jelly from starch and berries.
For those who have never tried jelly and are not aware of its existence, we explain that jelly is a healthy drink for every day, which contains useful vitamins and amino acids and cannot be replaced in the midst of colds, as it has an antibacterial effect.
Kissel is also useful for people suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, suffering from colitis and gastritis, and dysbacteriosis.
Only diabetics should use jelly with caution.
Most often, jelly is made from starch, which is produced from potatoes and fresh, dry or frozen berries: currants, raspberries, cherries, rose hips, rowan, cranberries and even sea buckthorn. Less often - from starch obtained from corn.
Choosing starch
How to cook jelly? How much starch per liter of water should you put in? Almost every novice housewife asks herself these questions. Let's start with choosing starch. There are several options here. Rice starch makes the jelly a little cloudy. It is used if the transparency of the finished dish is not very important. For example, for sauces or opaque desserts. Corn makes the drink more delicate, but we are not talking about transparency here either. Potato starch is best suited for cooking. The texture of the drink will be perfect and the color transparent if you follow the preparation technology.

Any frozen berry composition | 270 |
Refined sugar | 140 |
Thickener (potato starch) | 110 |
Ground cinnamon | 18 |
Half a lemon | 60 |
Sequence of making jelly drink:

- Place assorted berries in boiling syrup and boil for 3 minutes.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon and add to the compote.

The jelly will acquire the desired thickness in 25 minutes.
How to cook jelly from raspberry or currant jam?
When using jam as the main component of jelly, you should take into account its texture and degree of thickness. If you use desserts based on raspberries or currants, starch is taken in slightly larger quantities than usual. If you do not change the proportions, the consistency of the drink may be too liquid.
Raspberry jelly. For 1 liter of water, take at least 2 tablespoons of starch, raspberry jam and sugar (set the proportions to your taste). Boil the jam with sugar in half the water for 5 minutes. Strain the resulting syrup through cheesecloth, you need to get rid of the seeds. Bring the workpiece to a boil and add the rest of the water with the starch diluted in it. There is no need to boil the product for a long time; 2-3 minutes of cooking is enough.
Currant jelly. For a liter of water we take 2-2.5 tablespoons of starch, a glass of currant jam, a little sugar if desired, a pinch of citric acid, a few mint leaves. We dilute the jam in three glasses of water, pass through a sieve or strain through cheesecloth. Put the resulting fruit drink on the fire, add sugar, add mint and boil for 3-4 minutes. Then we catch the mint leaves and throw them away. Pour the rest of the water with the starch diluted in it into the syrup, add citric acid. Keep the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil, remove it when the first signs of steam appear.
Ready-made jelly does not have to be consumed immediately. It can be infused under a lid in a warm place, then the taste will be even richer. Or pour the mixture into molds, put pieces of fruit or nuts in it, cool and put in the refrigerator for several hours. The resulting product will look like jelly with pieces of tasty ingredients suspended in it. This composition is served in its pure form or as an addition to ice cream scoops.
Drink density
The main thing is to cook the jelly to the desired consistency. How much starch should you put per liter of liquid? It all depends on your preferences. If you want to get liquid jelly, then for one liter of juice you will need three large (tablespoons) tablespoons of starch.
For a medium-thick drink, you need to take 4 large spoons of starch, and for thick jelly - 5 large spoons. Please note that after cooling the drink will become slightly thicker. In the old days, it was customary to cook very thick jelly, which had the consistency of jelly. It was cut with a knife and served to the table in this form.
Density of the dish
The thickness of the jelly depends on how many tablespoons of starch are added per 1 liter of jelly. There are several types of preparation, or rather several types of density:
- Thick. For such a dish you will need to put about 80 grams of starch per liter of water. At home, you can use a tablespoon to measure, in which case you need to put 3 spoons. After the starch is added, the jelly will need to be cooked over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency. To stir this dish, you should use a wooden spoon. It should be noted that such thick jelly is served in bowls, and the dish is consumed with a spoon or fork.
- Medium thickness. For such a dish you will need to add about 45 grams of starch, which is about 2 tablespoons. You don’t need to cook the product for very long, the thickener is added, all the ingredients are brought to a boil, then you can serve the dish. This jelly can be consumed warm or cold. You won’t be able to drink the product either, so you need to give it additional spoons.
- Liquid. This type is considered drinkable, but let’s try to figure out how much starch you need to put in 1 liter of liquid jelly. For this consistency, 30 grams of thickener or a little more than 1 tbsp will be enough. l. Cooking the dish is similar to the point described above.
All proportions are presented approximately, and you can find out in detail how much starch is needed per 1 liter of jelly in specific recipes. This is due to the fact that the thickener can react differently with different ingredients. Therefore, in some cases you need to add more or less starch. Before adding starch, it is always better to dilute it in cold water and strain.

- While the liquid is boiling, let's make starch.
- We will need 2 tablespoons of starch (or a little less if you don’t like thick jelly).
- If, on the contrary, you like thick jelly, you can add 4 spoons.
- We dilute the powder in water (1 cup) so that it dissolves.
- Open the lid of the device, if the liquid has reached the boiling stage, pour in starch in a thin stream, stirring the compote.

Some tips
Even preparing such a simple drink has its own little tricks. Starch must be dissolved in a small amount of cold liquid and then added to the total mass. Only in this case will the homemade jelly be homogeneous, without lumps. When you pour the starch into the pan, continuously stir its contents so that it is evenly distributed throughout the entire mass.
After adding starch, boil the jelly for no more than a minute. Otherwise, the substance will break down into glucose, and the drink will be too liquid. When choosing a container, give preference to enamel pans and never aluminum ones. Many fruits can change their color from exposure to this metal.
