Kissel

description Kissel Overview

Kissel is a fruit-based dish found in Russian and other Eastern European cuisines. It is made from fruit or fruit juice thickened with starch, traditionally potato starch or cornstarch, and can be served as a drink, a spoonable pudding, or a dessert depending on its consistency. Common versions use berries or other fruit, with the amount of starch determining whether the finished dish is pourable or firm.
