APPLE EARL GREY ALMOND JELLY



Apple Earl Grey Almond Jelly image

Make and share this Apple Earl Grey Almond Jelly recipe from Food.com.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Apple

Time 1h

Yield 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups apple juice (made from about 3 pounds of tart green apples, such as Granny Smith)
2 tablespoons loose earl grey tea
4 cups sugar
3/4 cup slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Wash the apples and cut them into chunks (no need to peel or core them), then put them in your heavy-bottomed, nonreactive pot along with half of the tea, wrapped in cheesecloth.
  • Cover with water and simmer until the apples are tender, mashing them up to extract as much juice and flavor as possible.
  • Strain the pulp through a jelly bag or cheesecloth, letting it drip for several hours or overnight.
  • Measure 4 cups of juice into the clean cooking pot.
  • Add the sugar and the rest of the tea, again, wrapped in cheesecloth.
  • Simmer until the sugar dissolves and then bring the liquid to a boil and cook until the setting point is reached. (It sounds so easy!).
  • Remove the mixture from the heat and discard the bag of tea.
  • Skim any foam and allow the jelly to stand for a few minutes before stirring in the almonds and almond extract. (I found that if you don't let it sit -- and if you don't have a proper set -- the almonds will sit right on top of the jelly rather than sinking into the mix and looking all pretty.)
  • Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars.
  • I left 1/4 inch head space and processed in a water bath canner for ten minutes.

I have been searching for the perfect recipe to make the jelly for this dessert but it always came out wrong and not to my liking. But now I've got it right after some experimenting and it has become a favourite in my home, even with my mom who hates almond jelly (surprisingly!). And the lemon really makes a huge difference, I love everything about this dessert! I hope you'll like it too =) If you can't find canned longan, you can substitute with canned lychees (litchi). Cooking/prep time does not include chill time.

500 ml milk (I use 99% fat-free milk)

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated

  • Add in very cold water until the mixture is not too sweet (I don't like mine very sweet so I usually add in more or less a cup).

  • Put out serving bowls and let everyone serve themselves =) Enjoy!

History of Almond Jelly

The origin of almond jelly can be traced back to ancient China during the Tang dynasty, where it was served as a luxurious dessert for the imperial families. Back then, it was made by grinding almonds into a fine paste and mixing it with water and sugar. The mixture was then heated and poured into molds to set. Over time, the recipe evolved and other ingredients such as agar-agar, milk, and eggs were added to enhance the flavor and texture.

Types of Almond Jelly Recipes

There are countless variations of almond jelly recipes, but the most common ones are:

Tips for Making Delicious Almond Jelly

Almond jelly is a traditional Chinese dessert that has become popular all over the world. It is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for summertime. If you are planning to make almond jelly, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:
1. Use high-quality ingredients
The quality of ingredients you use plays a critical role in the taste and texture of the almond jelly. Use only high-quality almonds, unflavored gelatin powder, and sugar. Using low-quality ingredients can ruin the taste and texture of the dessert.
2. Soak the almonds overnight
Soaking almonds overnight in water helps to soften them, making it easier to blend them into a smooth paste. It also helps to extract more flavor from the almonds, making the jelly more flavorful.
3. Use a fine-mesh sieve
After blending the almonds, it is essential to pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chunks or grit. This step is crucial because any leftover chunks of almond will affect the texture and taste of the final product.
4. Don't overheat the milk
When heating the milk to dissolve the gelatin powder, make sure not to overheat it. Overheating the milk can cause the gelatin to break down, resulting in a watery and lumpy consistency. Heat the milk gently over low heat until it's hot but not boiling.
5. Vigorous stirring of the gelatin mixture
When stirring the gelatin mixture, make sure to stir it vigorously to dissolve the gelatin fully. Vigorous stirring will also ensure that the gelatin mixture is evenly distributed throughout the almond mixture.
6. Let the mixture cool before setting
After mixing the hot milk and almond mixture, allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before setting it in the refrigerator. This step helps to prevent any separation or curdling of the mixture and ensures that the jelly is smooth and silky.
7. Use molds for setting
To achieve the perfect shape and size of the almond jelly, use molds for setting. You can use any molds of your choice, such as cups, bowls, or even silicone molds. Make sure to grease the molds lightly with oil or cooking spray before pouring in the mixture.
8. Chill overnight before serving
Chilling the almond jelly overnight before serving is essential because it helps to set the jelly completely and enhances the flavor. Overnight chilling will also result in a firmer, creamier, and more refreshing dessert.
9. Serve with your favorite toppings
Almond jelly is a versatile dessert that you can serve with different toppings, such as fruit, nuts, or whipped cream. You can also serve it with sweet syrups, such as honey, maple syrup, or fruit compote. Adding toppings enhances the flavor, texture, and appearance of the dessert.
10. Experiment with different flavors
Almond jelly is a dessert that you can experiment with different flavors to create unique and delicious variations. You can add flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or pandan to the almond mixture to create different flavors. You can also use fruit purees, such as mango or strawberry, to add a fruity twist to the dessert. In conclusion, making almond jelly is a simple process, but it requires attention to detail to achieve the perfect taste and texture. By following these valuable tips, you can create a delicious and refreshing dessert that will impress your family and guests.
