What each ingredient does
- Bro-man gel-on
- Gelling agent that thickens the liquid and sets the jelly around the peaches.
- Peaches (in the method)
- Provide the fruit flavor and sweetness that the jelly carries.
The step that matters
Pour the gelatin mixture when it begins to thicken. If poured too early, the liquid can run off the fruit and set unevenly; if it has set too firmly, it will not coat the peaches smoothly. Thickening just to a syrupy stage lets it settle evenly around the fruit as it sets.
