Sparkling Grape Candy Jelly
Thermomix recipe: Sparkling Grape Candy Jelly. Ready in 55 minutes. Serves 8. Step-by-step Thermomix instructions on Chef Amai.
Ingredients
- 500 g red or green grapes, destemmed and washed
- 50 g water (optional, if grapes are not very juicy)
- 200 g granulated sugar (adjust to taste and grape sweetness)
- 30 g fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the destemmed and washed grapes into the mixing bowl. Add 50 g water if using. Cook 10 min / 90°C / Speed 1. This will soften the grapes and release their juice.
- Place the simmering basket into another large bowl. Pour the cooked grape mixture into the simmering basket, allowing the juice to drain into the bowl. Press the grape solids gently with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the grape solids.
- Clean and dry the mixing bowl thoroughly.
- Return the extracted grape juice to the clean mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice.
- Cook 25 min / 100°C / Speed 1. Remove the measuring cup and place the simmering basket on the lid to prevent splatter and allow for evaporation. After 15 minutes, pause, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula, then continue cooking.
- Check the jelly for setting point: place a small amount on a cold plate; if it wrinkles when pushed, it's ready. If not, continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes at 100°C / Speed 1, checking every few minutes.
- Cook 1 min / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse) to settle the jelly and prevent sticking to the bottom of the bowl.
- Carefully pour the hot jelly into sterilised jars or small candy molds. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight to set fully.
