jelly

Ingredients

• Qiongzhi 20g
• Fruits Appropriate amount
• Water 2.5 liters
• Rock sugar 40g

Steps

1. Soak the twigs in water for 2 hours.

2. Rinse with water after soaking. There will be many small shell fragments on the branches. Just clean them a little. You don't need to clean them specially. They will be filtered in the subsequent steps and will not affect the taste.

3. Put the Qiongzhi into the pot, add 2.5 liters of water, bring to a boil, then turn to low heat. Cook for 1 hour.

4. Filter with gauze, just water. Filter with gauze to filter out the shell fragments on the branches.

5. Pour the Qiongzhi water into a pot again

6. Add 40 grams of rock sugar. The taste produced from 40 grams is slightly sweet. The amount of rock sugar can be increased or decreased according to your own taste.

7. Cook the rock sugar until it is completely melted.

8. Filter the Qiongzhi water again. Filtering again is to make the juice clearer, this step can be omitted.

9. In the mold, first place various fruits and flower paste. Don't use too much, as too much is not conducive to shaping.

10. Pour in the Qiongzhi soup and let it sit for 2-3 hours to take shape. To speed up the molding time, place the mold in cold water and let it sit.

11. After forming, just flip it out.

12. The jelly made from Qiongzhi has a crisper texture. If you don’t add fruit, you can also just let it sit and shape, then use a scraper to scrape it into shreds and make cold dishes.

13. My favorite is the rose jam one, which tastes sweeter.
