What does GELEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet or savory jelly, often clear and firmly set, used to glaze food or to hold ingredients together in a dish.
Gelee comes from the French word for something frozen or set, and cooks use it both as a dessert on its own and as a glossy coating brushed over fruit tarts or savory dishes. A savory gelee is typically made by setting a flavored stock or juice with gelatin, while a sweet gelee is closer to a firm fruit jelly. Because it holds its shape once chilled, gelee can also be cut into neat cubes for garnish.
