summer fruit jellies

servings
6-8

method

Make these in individual moulds, little tea cups or coffee cups, which are a great way of transporting them to your picnic.

Fill whatever molds you are using (egg cups, cappuccino or espresso cups or tea cups or dariole moulds) three-quarters full of berries. Put them in the fridge to chill.

Meanwhile, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for a few minutes until soft. Pick them out of the water and shake any excess water off. Place them in a bowl and cover with 150ml hot (but not boiling) water and the sugar. Stir to dissolve.

When the gelatine water has cooled to room temperature, add the Prosecco or Champagne, stir well and pour over the fruits in the chilled moulds. Return to the fridge to set.

When the jellies are ready, dip the bottom of each one in a little hot water to melt it very slightly and then turn out on to a plate. Scatter with a few mint leaves before serving.

ingredients

• a few handfuls each of blueberries and raspberries (add in some wild strawberries, if you can find them!)
• 4 gelatine leaves
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 400ml Prosecco sparkling wine or Champagne
• fresh mint leaves, to serve

delicious, and fun with kids around.

Yes I would like a US substitution too. Could you use a flavored mineral water or sparkling apple or grape juice? Btw Jamie I love what you are doing! I do lunch duty in my school and I am concerned about how many kids eat Lunchables every day!

First - Jamie can't wait to try these. Thinking tonight maybe. Second - Kari one packet of Knox gelatine equals 4 gelatine leaves.

For those that don't like Prosecco or Champagne might I suggest either Perry (pear cider) or Elderflower presse / cordial. I have used both at various times & both work wonderfully well

Sounds absolutely delicious! But what do I use in stead of the Prosecco if I don't want to intoxicate my kids? :-) Cheers, ~Perry

For the Gelatine leaves, is there a U.S. substitution for this? Perhaps the plain gelatine powder? Thanks!

What would be a good substitute for the Prosecco or champagne? I am not a fan of either, but would llike to try making the recipe. Do you think apple cider or sparkling grape juice would work?
