Jelly (Like Jello Gelatine)

Make your own jelly (Australian for Jello Gelatine) at home from fruit juice! A good friend gave me this recipe from the Small Fry Inspiration for Cooking with Kids cookbook by Susie Cameron and Katrina Crook. You can substitute 1 400g (14oz) can of pitted cherries using the syrup as well as cherries (or blueberries). Don't use pineapple!

• Ready In: 4 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 600  ml  raspberry juice
• 4  teaspoons gelatin powder
• 6  teaspoons caster sugar (superfine)
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped strawberry
• 1⁄4 cup mandarin orange segments

Directions

1. Pour half of the juice into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
2. Remove from heat and stir in gelatine and sugar. Mix until totally disolved.
3. Add the rest of the juice and allow mixture to cool slightly.
4. Place the fruit into moulds and pour the liquid mixture over the top.
5. Refrigerate until set (approx. 4 hours).
