When making aspic jelly intended to be used for non-edible purposes, such as coating non-edible centerpieces or trays, approximately how much gelatin should be used for every litre of liquid?
  1. 40-60 g
  2. 60-100 g
  3. 100-130 g
  4. 130-250 g
Explanation
Answer: D - Aspic jellies that are used simply for presentation purposes can handle more gelatin than those that would be eaten. Because the displayed jelly may be exposed to lights and heat or be out for a long period of time, the gelatin content should be adjusted accordingly to ensure the finished product doesn’t melt.
