Description
To make 100 g of product we used 69 grams of yellow semi-bitter cherries, 29 g of sugar and the other ingredients in varying amounts. The cherries come from our own orchard and are of the Roz de Mărculești variety.
You may be wondering what Agar-agar is. Well, it is a natural alternative to classic gelatine, which is of animal origin. This gelling agent is made from red seaweed, which has an incredible gelling power. Think of it as a kind of plant-based gelatine, perfect for anyone following a vegan diet.
What are the benefits of Agar-agar? This ingredient is rich in fibre, vitamins and essential minerals, so agar-agar gives you a healthy dose of nutrients. The fibre in agar-agar contributes to healthy digestion and a feeling of fullness. Last but not least, it is the perfect choice for anyone following a plant-based diet.
Why did we use Agar-agar? To bring out the best in the bitter cherries. Using a natural gelling agent allowed us to cook the cherries for less time, so that the fruit stays whole. In addition, jams made with agar-agar keep their texture and aroma better over time.
