A recipe for Beer Jelly

Beer Jelly (perhaps a Japanese invention???)

A few times a month I teach an English class for a lady in my town. Every class she always provides us with a novel treat. One week it was beer jelly . As most, if not all, of the alcohol evaporates in cooking, this dish may even be suitable for some children.

Keiko San's recipe (in English, with International measurements¹) follows:

¹For American measurements, go here.

• 350 ccs beer

  250 ccs ginger ale

  50 gms sugar

  15 gms gelatine

  75 ccs water

  4 slices of lemon

• 1. Combine the gelatine in the water.

  2. Bring the beer, ginger ale, sugar and lemon to a boil.

  3. Dissolve the gelatine mixture in the beer.

  4. Pour 2/3rds of the mixture into four glasses. Make sure a piece of lemon goes in each glass.

  5. Beat or whip the other 1/3rd of the mixture, and pour slowly into the glasses.

  6. Set them in the refrigerator to gel.

Note: I am not much of a beer fan, I much prefer wine. Suggested alternative - substitute red or white wine for the beer and change the ginger ale to Seven Up (tm) or Sprite (tm). - Nick
