Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 680g / 24 ounces Blackberries (5 cups)
- 300g / 1.5 cups Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (to taste, see instructions)
Liquid Ingredients:
- 180 milliliters / 0.75 cup Water (divided into 120 milliliters / 0.5 cup and 60 milliliters / 0.25 cup)
Thickening Agent:
- 5 teaspoons Unflavored Gelatin Powder
Instructions
- Gather ripe blackberries and place them in a medium saucepan with 120 milliliters (½ cup) of water. Crush the berries gently while bringing the mixture to a rolling boil, releasing their vibrant juices and intense flavor.
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, allowing the berries to soften and release their natural pectin for precisely 5 minutes.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer lined with a clean cheesecloth or jelly bag over a large mixing bowl. Carefully transfer the warm berry mixture into the strainer, using the back of a wooden spoon to press and extract maximum juice. Aim to collect approximately 480 milliliters () of liquid, supplementing with additional water if needed.
- In a separate small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin powder over 60 milliliters (¼ cup) of cool water. Allow the gelatin to hydrate and bloom for at least 5 minutes, creating a smooth dissolving base.
- Transfer the strained blackberry juice into a clean stainless steel saucepan. Incorporate your preferred sweetener, stirring thoroughly to ensure complete integration. Taste and adjust sweetness level, remembering the flavor will slightly diminish after chilling.
- Introduce the bloomed gelatin into the warm juice mixture, maintaining low heat. Stir continuously for approximately 2 minutes until the gelatin completely dissolves, creating a smooth, uniform texture.
- Pour the liquid into a clean glass jar or mold. Refrigerate for 5-6 hours, or ideally overnight, until the jelly achieves a firm, trembling consistency. Before serving, gently loosen the edges with a butter knife to ensure easy release.
Notes
- Select perfectly ripe blackberries bursting with natural sweetness to elevate your jelly’s flavor profile.
- Extract maximum juice by gently pressing berries through a fine-mesh strainer, ensuring every drop of delicious liquid is captured.
- Activate gelatin carefully by allowing it to bloom in cool water, creating a smooth, lump-free base for your vibrant jelly.
- Boost sweetness while the juice is warm, compensating for the reduced intensity after chilling and setting.
- Refrigerate the jelly for a minimum of 5-6 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve a perfectly set, silky-smooth texture that melts in your mouth.
