How to boil a strawberry jelly - step by step recipe
A half liter of water is mixed with sugar in a shallow saucepan with a flat bottom and brought to a boil over medium heat.
As soon as the water boils, fall asleep in the pan strawberries (if you took not fresh, but frozen strawberries, it is recommended not to defrost it beforehand - so that the berries do not become depleted).
Cook the strawberries in sugar syrup fora few minutes, and as soon as the water boils again, take it out and mash it with a spoon in the mashed potatoes. If you want, you can skip this step and leave the berries whole - then you will get a strawberry kissel with whole berries. Very tasty such a strawberry jelly is obtained if the strawberries themselves are small in themselves.
While the strawberry is brewed, prepare a starch mixture. Two tablespoons of starch with a slide pour a glass of cold water in a separate container and mix thoroughly to make the mixture homogeneous, without lumps. If you do not mix the starch mixture, and in the jelly you will also have lumps - and this, you see, is not very tasty.
Gradually, stirring constantly, pour the starch diluted in water into a saucepan with jelly and leave the kissel on a hot plate, turning off the fire.

From the starch depends the density of the jelly, so if you prefer a more liquid strawberry jelly, the amount of starch can be increased.

That's all - strawberry jelly is almost ready,it remains only to let it cool. You can leave the jelly to cool right in the pan or pour it into serving plates or other shallow containers - so it will cool down much faster.
