Kisel (in Russian) or Kisil (in Ukrainian) is a fruit jelly juice that can be served hot or cold. It is similar to Kompot juice drink additionally thickened with starch (corn or potato) well known and very popular and traditional drink or dessert. You may use any fruits like cranberries, redcurrant, strawberries, raspberries etc., to make this delicious drink.

Personally, I do not like kisel too thick. This recipe is a thinner version, and it’s the most common version preferred. You can adjust the amount of starch and add more if you like it thicker and less for even thinner Kisel than this recipe asks for. I prefer to consume it as a drink, but many people use it also as a topping for sirniki, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, etc.

The color of kisel varies depends what type of fruit you’re using. Cherry kisel is a little different, a deeper and brighter red in color if you use orchard picked cherry fruit. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 lbs. – fresh or frozen cherries (You can use any fruit you like. I prefer using orchard picked cherries, but Im out until next season 🙁 )
