Do you have to add sugar to gelatine?

Question

I have some gelatine to pour over strawberries. I'm making a strawberry flan I have a sponge flan base. Do I have to add sugar to the gelatine to make it sweet because the gelatin isn't sweetened?

Answer 1

No you do not have to add sugar to the gelatin. Since you already have sugar in the rest of the recipe, it will just blend in. Trust me, I watch the food network all of the time and cooking is my passion:) Good luck with your recipe!!

Answer 2

if it isn't sweetened, i would add the sugar- there is no sugar to "blend in" if there isn't any sugar in the mix.  

Answer 3

no

have you soaked the strawberries in sugar first place

but that would mean you have not thought this through..

What do you thin would happen???
