Most gelatins set firmly after 3 - 4
hours in the refrigerator. To be on the safe side allow 6 hours or overnight.
Gelatins that set slowly in the refrigerator are sturdier than those that are
quick set. If you need to hasten the chilling process, make the gelatin the
normal way. Set the gelatin bowl over another bowl of ice and stir until the
gelatin thickens. |
