Tanabata Festival Jelly
- 10 grams Gelatin
- 195 ml Boiling water
- 40 ml Umeshu
- 75 ml Syrup
- 1 Gold dust
- 1 Food colouring (blue)
- 1 Star-shaped sprinkles
- 1/2 Yellow peach in syrup
- These are the ingredients.
- Dissolve 2.5 g of gelatin in 35 ml of hot water, and add 15 ml of syrup and the umeshu (plum wine).
- Mix together, then add the food colouring to make a dark blue colour, and pour into the mould.
- Chill in the fridge.
- Get 1/2 of a peach, and cut it into a moon shape using a circle cookie cutter.
- Adjust the thickness with a kitchen knife.
- Remove the cooled jelly from the fridge, and decorate it with the moon and star-shaped sprinkles.
- Make the Milky Way in the center with the gold dust.
- Dissolve 2.5 g of gelatin in 20 ml of hot water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the 60 ml of syrup that you previously measured, and mix.
- Using a spoon, gently pour some over the gelatin base (coat the gold dust and star-shaped sugar decorations so that they won't float).
- Chill it in the fridge until the surface is completely set.
- Dissolve the remaining 5 g of gelatin in 140 ml of hot water, add all of the remaining syrup and mix well.
- Once the jelly has set, add the mixture little by little with a spoon, then slowly pour it in so that the decorations do not float off.
- Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours, and it's complete.
- It looks like this from the side.
