But before we start preparing cranberry jelly, by tradition, let's dwell a little on the history and features of this wonderful drink-dessert.
History of the dish
Kissel is a traditional Russian thick drink, which is prepared on the basis of fruits or berries and, due to the addition of starch, has the consistency of poorly frozen jellied meat. Historical evidence suggests that the first mention of jelly dates back to the 13th century, and nevertheless then jelly was not so much as desserts, they rather resembled sour soup or sauce. It was extremely difficult to drink them, because the consistency was too thick, like that of a chlodz, and more often the jelly was cut into pieces and yalu by hand.
The difference between them was that jellied meat was cooked on an animal gelling substance, and jelly with the addition of starch. And the jelly was not jelly: pea, rye or oatmeal. Kissel, in its usual form, appeared only by the 19th century, then they began to prepare it on the basis of juices with the addition of various delicacies. This is what they do now. It is such a cranberry jelly from starch that we will cook and we are with you today.

The benefits of the dish

Thanks to this feature, the jelly envelops the walls of the stomach, thereby protecting it from the harmful effects of too spicy or too fatty foods. Moreover, such a product perfectly satisfies hunger and tastes good. It is thanks to these properties that the jelly received the proud name of a dish from the dietary menu.
