Title: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: cookie1 on March 25, 2013, 12:00:24 pm: The other night we went to a barbecue and some of the sweets was 2 jelly stained glass window moulds. It was pieces of coloured jelly all set in a white sort of jelly. I was wondering if anyone has ever made this please? It was set in a tupperware ring mould. My DH loved it and I thought it was rather good too.
Thanks

Post by: cookie1 on March 26, 2013, 07:59:36 am: It tastes lovely as the jellies are strong.

Post by: Kimmyh on March 26, 2013, 11:26:59 am: What a clever idea. But I don't need a jelly ring to do this do I?

Post by: Frozzie on March 26, 2013, 06:32:44 pm: Look forward to the pics cookie.. Looks colourful..was it really jelly like or did the sweetened condensed milk change the texture?? Not sure mine would like it dh and i arent jello fans and not sure re the kids as i have never served it to them.. :)
Title: Re: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: Kimmyh on March 27, 2013, 10:37:42 am: Oh jam I want to need one.....just don't have the room for one. Sadly, it's about the only piece of Tupperware I DON'T own :D
Title: Re: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: cookie1 on March 27, 2013, 11:26:20 am: I bought my ring mould for $12.95 at Matchbox.

It tastes like rich jelly in a nice white jelly. I think you will have to like jelly to eat it.
Title: Re: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: Katiej on March 29, 2013, 05:52:51 am: I've dug out my tupperware jelly mould and I'm all set to make this tomorrow.
I have my 4 coloured jellies setting in the fridge now.

Thanks Cookie for the idea ;D
Title: Re: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: cookie1 on March 29, 2013, 10:52:15 am: I still haven't made mine yet. I have bought the jellies though. I can't wait to see how it goes Katie. I do plan to make it over Easter.
Title: Re: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: Katiej on March 31, 2013, 10:01:15 am: I took my stained glass jelly to my in-laws today as one of the desserts for Easter lunch. Everyone thought it looked great and wondered how I'd made it. It tasted really nice too!

It was easy to make and it came put of the Tupperware jelly mould easily and in one piece.

Even though DH had seen it at the BBQ he was still impressed. I used 14 g of gelatine powder for the condensed milk part.

Post by: judydawn on March 31, 2013, 11:09:26 pm: Same mold as Katie's - I threw mine out :-)) Lovely Cookie, I can't wait to try this myself. I know my Mum will love it as much as the grandkids. I do have a silicone mold I've never used so hopefully that will work.
Title: Re: Jelly. Like a stained glass window.
Post by: Katiej on April 01, 2013, 12:17:24 am: Looks great Cookie! Thanks again for telling us all about this.

I used about 20grams of gelatine in my milk jelly.

Post by: cookie1 on April 01, 2013, 02:28:57 am: I spent ages trying to work out what an envelope of Knox's gelatine weighted. I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would set.

Post by: judydawn on April 01, 2013, 02:56:04 am: This comment was made in one of the comments on that blog Cookie.

@AnneTagonist According to David Lebovitz's blog post about gelatin, one envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin is: "One envelope of powdered gelatin (about 1/4 ounce) is about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 teaspoons" Here is his post: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/04/how-to-use-gelatin/

Post by: cookie1 on April 01, 2013, 03:38:49 am: Thanks Judy. I could have saved myself time. I only looked at the recipe. Katie's photo looked so lovely I have tried fooling around with mine to see if the colours show better. Here goes!

Post by: Katiej on April 01, 2013, 04:31:10 am: It looks wonderful Cookie ;D

I didn't really know how much gelatine to add to the milk jelly either. I tried looking around on the internet but couldn't find how much the "US envelope" held (but now I know thanks to Judy :D).

I ended up finding "Not Quite Nigella's" recipe which used 3.5 titanium gelatin sheets. I knew a titanium sheet was equivalent to 5 grams of gelatine powder, so I was being very scientific and was going to use 17.5 grams (3.5 x 5) of gelatine. When I made it though I slipped and tipped in a bit more, oops. I too had my fingers crossed that it would set.
