Easy Hydrangea Jelly

[Super Easy] Hydrangea Jelly Made in the Microwave—No Stove or Knife Needed #dayservice #daycare #dayrehab #caregiving #seniors #snack #dessert #sweets

Here’s a simple hydrangea jelly you can make by heating it in the microwave.

It’s perfect for a June snack activity.

Soften gelatin in milk with sugar or in water, then heat it in the microwave along with grape juice.

Pour the milk-based jelly mixture into containers and chill until set.

The key for the grape jelly mixture made with grape juice is to prepare it in a storage bag.

Lay it flat to chill and set, then tear it into pieces with a fork and place them on top of the milk jelly.

The grape jelly pieces, which look like dice cuts, resemble hydrangea petals.

Since you can make this without using a stove or knives, try making it together with older adults.

Blue Sky Jelly

[Super Easy] Fun Snack Activity #BlueSkyJelly #DayCare #OutpatientRehab #ElderCare #Seniors

Perfect for early summer! Let me introduce a beautiful blue-sky jelly with a refreshing look.

First, dissolve gelatin in the microwave, then add soda and blue shaved-ice syrup and mix well.

Be careful not to let too much carbonation escape.

Do the same with a mixture of a lactic-acid drink and milk: add gelatin and combine thoroughly.

Once set in the refrigerator, plate the jellies.

By layering the blue jelly and the white jelly alternately, you’ll create a beautiful dessert that looks like white clouds floating in a blue sky.

It’s also delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, if you like.

Pear Tarte Tatin

Not apples but pears make it easy! How to Make Pear Tarte Tatin [How to Make Pear Tart Tatin]

This is a recipe for a tarte Tatin you can make using only a frying pan, packed with pears.

For the tart base, finely crush biscuits and mix thoroughly with melted butter and milk until it comes together.

Press it flat onto a plate the same size as your frying pan and chill it in the refrigerator.

In the frying pan, dissolve sugar with a little water to make a caramel sauce.

Once it thickens, add butter, then add the cut pears and some sugar, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 1 hour.

Remove the lid and simmer a bit longer until slightly thickened, place the tart base on top, let it sit for a while, then flip it over to finish the tarte Tatin.

It tastes best well chilled.
