How to prepare Peach and Yogurt Jellies

To create the peach and yogurt jellies, first blanch 800 g (about 1.8 lbs) of peaches in boiling water for 3 minutes 1(the other peach will be used for garnish). Then drain them 2, let them cool slightly, then peel and cut them into pieces 3.

Pour the peaches into a saucepan and add the sugar 4, the water 5, and the lemon zest 6. Cook over heat for about 20 minutes.

After this time, remove the lemon zest with kitchen tongs 7 and mash the peaches into a puree 8. Meanwhile, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10 minutes 9.

Once the gelatin sheets are soft, squeeze them and add them to the hot puree 10. Stir to dissolve the gelatin well 11. Pour the mixture into 4 molds of 2.75 inches in diameter 12 and set to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

After this time, unmold the jellies by turning them onto a small plate (13-14). Cut the remaining peaches into regular slices 15 and set aside.

Now garnish the jellies with a spoonful of yogurt 16, distribute the peach slices around 17, and finally, sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar. Your peach and yogurt jellies are ready to be enjoyed 18.
