Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tsps unflavored gelatin powder
- 680 g / 24 oz blackberries (5 cups)
- 300 g / 1.5 cups monk fruit allulose blend (to taste)
- 180 ml / 0.75 cup water (divided into 120 ml / 0.5 cup and 60 ml / 0.25 cup)
Instructions
- Berry Preparation: Crush ripe blackberries in a medium saucepan with water, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil while releasing their natural essence and robust flavors.
- Juice Extraction: Reduce heat and simmer berries, then strain through a cheesecloth-lined mesh, pressing gently to extract maximum juice into a large bowl, ensuring a clear, vibrant liquid.
- Gelatin Activation: Hydrate gelatin powder in cool water, allowing it to bloom and transform into a smooth, dissolved base for optimal jelly consistency.
- Flavor Infusion: Combine strained blackberry juice with sweetener in a stainless steel saucepan, adjusting taste to achieve a balanced, delightful profile.
- Gelatin Integration: Gently incorporate bloomed gelatin into warm juice mixture, stirring continuously over low heat until completely dissolved, creating a silky-smooth texture.
- Chilling and Setting: Transfer liquid to a clean glass container and refrigerate for 5-6 hours or overnight, allowing the jelly to develop a perfect trembling consistency. Before serving, carefully release edges to ensure clean presentation.
Notes
- Optimize Berry Selection: Choose ripe, deep-colored blackberries at peak freshness to maximize natural sweetness and pectin content for a more intense flavor profile.
- Manage Gelatin Precision: Bloom gelatin exactly 5 minutes to ensure smooth dissolution and prevent lumpy texture, creating a silky-smooth jelly consistency.
- Control Sweetness Carefully: Taste and adjust sweetener incrementally, understanding the flavor will slightly mellow after chilling, preventing overly sweet or bland results.
- Handle Straining Technique: Press berry mixture gently through cheesecloth, maximizing juice extraction without forcing pulp through, which could compromise the jelly’s clarity and texture.
