Strawberry Fruit Jelly Recipes

Steps:

• Place jelly crystals in a large heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water. Whisk until crystals have dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water.
• Pour 1/2 cup jelly into a 7cm-deep, 10.5cm x 20cm (6-cup capacity) rectangular pyrex loaf dish. Place in freezer for 5 to 10 minutes or until set.
• Place a single layer of strawberries, cut side down, onto set jelly. Pour over another 1 cup jelly. Return to jelly freezer for 10 minutes or until set. Repeat layering twice more with remaining strawberries and jelly. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
• To serve dip base of dish into hot water for 30 seconds and invert onto a serving platter.
• Serve with cream or ice cream.
• Notes ~ Quick set jelly is made from a vegetable gum which is extracted from red seaweed, instead of the usual gelatine, and sets in under an hour. Quick set jelly has a firmer texture than regular jelly. Regular and quick set jelly are interchangeable.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray a heavy, medium-sized shallow rectangular pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with waxed paper, and also spray paper.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy. Add 1/4 cup sugar and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat oil and 1/2 cup sugar on medium speed. Add the vanilla and then the sifted flour, and mix until well blended. Fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the batter. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites. Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
• Bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. The cake should spring back when touched lightly. While cake is still warm, loosen it from the pan, and sprinkle it with some of the powdered sugar. Cover cake with a baking cloth. Invert the cake by placing a large cookie sheet over the cloth and turning the cake over. Remove the waxed paper and roll the cake in the cloth. Cool the cake on a wire rack while mixing the filling. Do not let cake cool longer than it takes to mix the filling or it will become too stiff to handle.
• For the filling, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, jam, and strawberries together in a medium bowl until well blended.
• Unroll the cake. Spread the filling on the cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Carefully re-roll the cake.
• Garnish with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Stem and crush strawberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Place three layers of damp cheesecloth or a jelly bag in large bowl. Pour prepared fruit into cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth closed; hang and let drip into bowl until dripping stops. Press gently. Measure exactly 3-3/4 cups prepared juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir pectin into juice in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Spray generously with cooking spray.
• Beat eggs in a small bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Pour into a larger bowl and beat in sugar gradually. Beat in water and vanilla on low speed.
• Add flour, baking powder, and salt gradually, beating just until batter is smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove cake from the oven. Immediately loosen cake from the edges of the pan and invert onto a kitchen towel. Carefully remove aluminum foil and trim off any stiff edges if needed.
• Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and carefully roll the hot cake and towel from the narrow end. Place on a wire rack and cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Beat jelly slightly with a fork to soften.
• Unroll cake and remove towel. Spread jelly over the cake. Roll cake, transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
