500 grams | frozen raspberries |
50 grams | sugar |
| Agar powder |
Mix the frozen raspberries with the sugar and cover it very tight with plastic wrap. Now heat this up on a double boiler on the lowest heat for a couple of hours. After that remove the wrap and pour it on a sieve that’s lined with a clean kitchen paper. Let this drain in your fridge for a couple of hours. Once that’s done measure the total weight of the liquid and add 1 gram of agar powder for every 100 grams of liquid. This is 200 grams, so I added 2 grams of agar powder. Now mix this well and bring it to a boil for 1 minute. Then pour it into a bowl and let it cool down completely in your fridge. Once set transfer it into a blender and blend it into a smooth gel. Now a little trick. When blending a gel it always gets a bit cloudy because of all the air. To fix this transfer the gel on a tray and vacuum it in a vacuum machine. This will remove all the air and you’ll end up with a beautiful clear and colorful gel. The flavor is the same, but this is just to bring it to the next level.
