Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour.

- Maybe you made a mistake when weighing, if your dough is too liquid it probably lacks cornstarch?Posted by jh march 16th 2022 at 17:53 (n° 2)
- I followed a recipe for fish balls containing squid, prawns, coriander, egg and cornflour. Unfortunately, despite leaving for 24 hours to firm up, it hasn't, and they are still squishy. As this recipe has to be formed into balls and coated with flavoured breadcrumbs to be fried. How can I get the mixture to firm up? I'm at my wits-end and do not want to throw it away. Squid and prawns are not cheap!Posted by ex jenny march 16th 2022 at 11:52 (n° 1)
