What to replace gelatin with
Confectioners who specialize in vegetarian products use agar-agar. Unlike gelatin, which is a product of animal origin, agar-agar is made from plant components.
Another common plant-based thickener is pectin, which is obtained from apples and blackcurrants.
Despite the name and the label that everyone fears, guar gum (E412) and carob gum (E410) are also natural analogues of gelatin. The first ingredient is obtained from guar beans, the second - from the fruits of the carob tree.
Starch also acts as a thickener. It is best to use corn starch, which has a neutral taste.
