What each ingredient does
- Well-boiled oatmeal
- Its starch thickens the liquid as it cooks, giving the jelly its body.
- Boiling water
- Hydrates the oat starch and forms the liquid base of the jelly.
The step that matters
Boiling while stirring. Oat starch thickens as it heats and can settle and scorch on the pot bottom. Constant stirring keeps the mixture even and helps it thicken smoothly.
