How to cook jelly from starch and jam

Surely, any mother from time to time thinks about expanding the range of tasty and at the same time necessary drinks for her own baby. Because this year, thanks to a good harvest of currants and other berries, we had a surplus of currant jam, I often made jelly from it with the addition of starch (for thickness).

This drink has become a good candidate for store-bought juice, which is not always healthy, and compote, which is already a little boring. In my own recipe, I will tell you how to prepare a very tasty jelly from jam and starch and how to cook it correctly for a perfect mixture.

Kissel made from starch and jam

Ingredients

Currant jam	4 tbsp. l. (with a slide)
Potato starch)	2 tbsp. l. (with a slide)
Water	1.2 l

Tips for choosing ingredients

It doesn’t matter what type of water is suitable for making this drink, but it is still better to use good quality water – purified with a filter or mineral water without gas (bottled) so that the jelly brings maximum benefits to the body. High-quality water must be tasteless, aroma-free, sediment-free, and have a neutral taste. There is no need to drink hard water.
For making, I most often use currant jam, but any other jam (or jam) to suit your taste will also work. It's better if it's sweet and sour. The jam can be thick and candied, but under no circumstances must it become moldy. Also, feel free to throw away canned fruit and berries with a swollen lid that has begun to ferment.

Step-by-step production

Place 4 heaping tablespoons of jam into the pan.
Add a liter of water. Mix thoroughly.
We taste the fruit drink and add more jam or water if necessary. Bring the fruit drink to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
We dilute 2 tablespoons of starch (heaped) in a glass of cool boiled water. It is imperative to drink boiled water, because after brewing the drink we will no longer boil it.
Strain the boiled fruit drink through a strainer to get rid of the berry skin.
Carefully pour in the water and starch in a narrow stream. During the brewing process, stir the jelly constantly. Slowly pour in the diluted starch until the mixture of jelly is suitable for us, while keeping in mind that the cooled drink will become slightly thicker. Because the starch may be different, with different qualities, not all of it may be useful to you. Look at the desired drink mixture.
Cool the finished jelly, pour into mugs or glasses and serve with desserts, pastries, sweet milk porridges and any other dishes as desired.
