Firm moulded jelly - designed to unmould cleanly and stand independently.
Ingredients:
220g Water
150g Umeshu
50g Caster sugar
35g Fresh As Raspberry Powder
10g Lemon juice
48g Gelatine mass (1:5, 200 Bloom)
0.5g Fine salt
Gelatine Mass:
48g gelatine mass (1:5) = 8g gelatine powder (200 Bloom) + 40g cold water.
Bloom for 10-15 minutes before use.
Method:
Combine the water and caster sugar. Heat to 60-70°C until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from the heat and add the 48g gelatine mass. Stir until fully dissolved.
Add the Fresh As Raspberry Powder and blend with a stick blender until smooth and evenly dispersed.
Allow the mixture to cool to approximately 35-40°C.
Add the umeshu, lemon juice and fine salt. Blend briefly, avoiding excessive aeration.
Pass through a fine chinois for a smooth, refined finish.
Pour into silicone moulds and refrigerate overnight to develop full gel strength.
Unmould cold. Keep refrigerated until required for service.
Optional - sprinkle crushed Fresh As Raspberry Whole over jelly.
