What each ingredient does
- Leaf gelatine
- Sets the liquid into a firm, wobbly jelly when cooled.
The step that matters
Heat the soaked gelatine until fully dissolved. Gelatine only sets properly when every granule has melted into the liquid. Undissolved pieces leave weak spots and grainy texture in the finished jelly.
