125mls strawberry juice made with strawberry cordial (Elderflower and strawberry can be used too)
125mls warm water
1 tablespoon caster sugar
3 teaspoons gelatine powder

Note

Easy to make and so much better than packet jelly, these little strawberry jellies make a great ending to a summer meal, as well as being perfect for parties, especially when served with ice cream!

Directions

Step 1	Rinse 6 small jelly moulds with water.
Step 2	Place three-quarters of the strawberries and strawberry cordial juice in a blender and pulse until the strawberries are pureed. Push the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds.
Step 3	Put the water and caster sugar into a saucepan and then sprinkle over the gelatine. Stir over a low heat until the sugar and gelatine are completely dissolved. Add the strawberry puree and mix well.
Step 4	Take the remaining whole strawberries and slice thinly and then arrange them in the 6 small jelly moulds.
Step 5	Pour the strawberry jelly mixture into the jelly moulds, there should just be enough to fill them all; if any jelly is left, pour into another mould or ramekin.
Step 6	Place the jellies in the fridge and allow to set for 3 to 4 hours.
Step 7	Dip the jelly moulds in hot water and then invert them on to a plate to serve, with extra fresh strawberries and ice cream of desired.
