Tips for making delicious jelly without lumps
- When putting the jelly mixture into the pot, it is best to stir continuously to help the gelatin dissolve quickly and evenly.
- When pouring into molds, you should do it gently to avoid creating air bubbles on the surface. You can use a spoon to scoop them out, helping the jelly not to be pockmarked.
- Especially, if you haven’t prepared the molds in time and the jelly mixture has started to set, you can put it back on the stove to heat it again, and the mixture will melt back.
Tips for storing jelly
- Mojito lemon jelly can be used for 5 – 7 days if stored properly.
- Do not store it near raw foods with strong odors like meat or fish, as the jelly can easily absorb those smells and spoil quickly.
- It is advisable to place the jelly in a covered container and store it in the refrigerator. Avoid very low temperatures as it can cause the jelly to dry out and harden.
- Do not store jelly at room temperature as it can spoil very easily.
