On the eve of the great Orthodox holiday -Easter - many Christians adhere to special rules in cooking and eating. The Orthodox Church forbids eating foods of animal origin: meat, milk, eggs, fish (it should be noted that on some days there is a fish allowed) and all the derivatives from these products. Thus, there is a purification of the human body and preparation for the sacrament of communion.
Despite the fact that much can not be used infood, sometimes you still want a sweet. In this article I want to draw the reader's attention to the fact that there are a lot of recipes, following which you can prepare lean desserts, to taste not inferior to desserts from dairy products and eggs.
There are a lot of recipes, so consider the most interesting of them and the most delicious.
1) Jelly from oranges.For this dessert, we need 4 juicy oranges, one packet of gelatin (when buying, make sure that the expiration date is not expired, otherwise jelly will not work), one lemon, half a cup of granulated sugar, half a cup of boiled warm water. First, you need to dissolve sugar and gelatin in warm water. Oranges and lemon peel, two oranges to finely grind, from the rest squeeze the juice. Lemon, too, grind.
Citrus mixed with dissolved gelatin andpour into molds; if there are no molds, you can simply pour into glasses to fill the jelly glass with ¾. Forms put in the refrigerator to make the jelly freeze. After everything has solidified, take out the molds, douse for a couple of seconds in warm water (so that the jelly does not stick to the walls) and topple it onto the plate. A ready-made dessert can be decorated with pieces of fruit, berries, a mint leaf, in general, anything.
Lenten desserts can be prepared from any fruit.For example, with this recipe for fruit jelly, you can also experiment. For example, instead of oranges you can use canned pineapple, you can include a mixture of fruits in a dessert. It will look good kiwi, pineapple and strawberry - will get a beautiful contrast, the taste is also quite unusual.
