Blueberry jelly with cherries
2 servings
15 minutes
Blueberry jelly with cherry is a refined dessert with a harmonious blend of sweetness and light tartness. Blueberries give it a rich flavor and deep color, while cherries add a pleasant freshness. The gelling base made from agar-agar makes it firm and tender, allowing enjoyment of every bite. This recipe traces back to European fruit dessert traditions, where natural ingredients and their inherent aromas are valued. Thanks to the use of stevia extract, it serves as a healthy alternative to classic sweets. It is perfect for a light meal conclusion or for treating guests at a festive table. Serving with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and fresh berries makes it not only delicious but also aesthetically appealing.

Pour blueberries and cherries into a hot non-stick pan. Add about 50 grams of water and stevia extract, stirring until the berries are completely thawed, about 3-4 minutes. Dried cherries can be used instead of frozen ones.

Pour the mixture into molds with about 120-130 grams each. Cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, avoiding sudden cooling of the jelly (do not place in the freezer or refrigerator).
