This Birch Syrup Jelly is a simple recipe that highlights the extraordinary flavour of the Birch sap syrup, you can forage for in springtime. It requires no other flavouring and simply takes three ingredients.
It can be made in advance and stored in the fridge – meaning it’s simple for you to serve up – stress free.
Ingredients:
- 300ml water
- 3tblsp birch sap syrup
- 3 leaves gelatine
- (optional) cream and edible flowers to garnish
Method:
- Place the gelatine leaves in a bowl covered with cold water to allow them to soak for 5 minutes
- Bring 100ml of your water to a simmer and add the soaked gelatine leaves until fully dissolved, about 3 minutes
- Add the rest of your water and Birch sap syrup, stir until well incorporated.
- Pour out in to your serving vessels (I like to use thick bottomed glasses for this) and leave in the fridge to set for 5hrs before serving.
- Serve with a good dollop of whipped cream.
