Ingredients

Servings

20 small candies

For the filling

Cherry

150 G
Water

50 ml
Gelatin

10 G
Sweetener

4 G

For the glaze

Coconut oil

40 G
Cocoa

20 G
Sweetener

2 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Soak the gelatin in water. Let it swell. Then dissolve it in the microwave.

Step 2

Blend the cherries until smooth.

Step 3

Add a sweetener. You can do without it if you prefer.

Step 4

Add the warmed gelatin to the cherry puree and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

We transfer the mixture into a mold and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the gelatin to set.

Step 6

We put the hardened marmalade on skewers.

Step 7

Melt solid coconut oil. You can also use regular butter or even chocolate butter.

Step 8

Combine butter with cocoa powder and sweetener.

Step 9

Mix thoroughly until smooth and pour into a deep thin glass.

Step 10

Dip the marmalade into the chocolate glaze. Prepare a surface to place the marmalade on so the chocolate adheres nicely to the surface. Styrofoam is ideal, as it's easy to insert skewers into.

Step 11

Place the candies in the refrigerator for another half hour to set and stabilize. Then carefully remove the skewers. Done!

How to remove marmalade from a mold

The marmalade can be poured into various molds to set. Silicone molds are best, as they make removing the candies easier.

If you have problems removing the jellies from the mold, follow these simple but effective instructions.

Place the frozen jelly mold in a bowl of hot water for a few seconds. Remove the mold from the water and invert it onto a plate or board—the marmalade will slide out easily without losing its shape.

How to calculate gelatin strength for elastic marmalade

When making homemade marmalade, it's crucial to consider the gelatin strength. For example, if a recipe calls for 200 bloom strength gelatin, but you use a thickener with 180 bloom strength, you shouldn't expect a successful result. This will likely result in a less dense product.

Converting gelatin is very simple: you just need to divide the amount of gelatin you need by the amount you have to get the correct ratio for substitution.

For example, if a recipe calls for 200 bloom strength gelatin, and you have 180 bloom strength gelatin, then 200:180 = 1.11.

This means that if the recipe calls for 20g of 200 bloom gelatin, you need to take 22–23g of a less durable substance.

If you have stronger gelatin than the one specified in the recipe, the calculation is reversed and the grams are subtracted.

There are countless recipes: using berries, fruits, soda, and even vegetables, so finding your favorite flavor won't be difficult. The main thing is to not be afraid to experiment. So try out different variations in your kitchen and share your successes in the comments.
