If you suddenly decide to surprise your family and friends, especially children, then this truly unique recipe is for you. I will tell you how to make sweet, absolutely natural caviar from fruits. It will be very similar to the real thing, and therefore it can even be used for practical jokes.
Ingredients
To prepare orange caviar you will need:
- Juice of one orange.
- Sugar - 30 gr.
- Water - 50 ml.
- Agar-agar - 1/2 teaspoon.
- Refined sunflower oil - 0.5 l.
I think all the ingredients are available. And if you have never used agar-agar, then you immediately have several questions: what is it, where can you get it, and is it dangerous?
Agar-agar - This is an absolutely natural food thickener. It is often used not only in the food industry but also in other areas, such as medicine, cosmetology, etc. It is not only safe, but even useful, but do not forget about intolerance to the components. Agar-agar is made from seaweed, so it is not some kind of chemical, but a completely natural product.
Where to buy agar-agar? Most supermarkets have it and you need to look for it in the same place where regular gelatin and other confectionery and culinary additives are sold.
Step-by-step recipe for making fruit caviar
Place the pan on the stove.Squeeze the juice of one orange. Pour into a saucepan, first straining to remove seeds and pulp.
Add drinking water. I measure the quantity using half an orange.
Add sugar.
Pour in agar-agar.
Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for another 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are completely dissolved.
Let it cool a little. Then we draw the resulting syrup into a syringe.
Take a half-liter or other jar. Pour refined sunflower oil into it. The oil must be cold. Therefore, pre-cool it in a bottle or jar.
Squeeze the syrup dropwise into the oil from the syringe.
The caviar settles beautifully to the bottom of the jar.
Then strain the caviar through a colander, removing the oil.
Place the resulting caviar in a bowl of cold water. Excess oil will float on top of the water.
Strain through a colander again.
Looks amazing.
