Homemade jelly

Ingredients

1 tbs (14g) edible gelatine (I bought the McCormicks brand in the cake section)
400 mls fruit juice
1 cup of hot water

Method

1. Dissolve 1 tbs (14g) of the edible gelatine into 1 cup of hot water - stir thoroughly to get rid of any gelatine lumps. Keep stirring until all the gelatine has dissolved. This is important as if you add the gelatine to a cold liquid mix the gelatine will become lumpy.
2. Add to 400mls of fruit juice. Refrigerate overnight to set.

Note: For the fruit juice I used leftover water that I had stewed apples and pears in. I also added some of the stewed apples and pears that I mashed first to the jelly mix. I think it works better if you add hot liquid to the gelatine mix to dissolve it fully. Also I used this leftover hot stewed apple and pear juice in step 1 instead of hot water as I wanted a stronger fruit flavour.

If you want to add your own freshly squeezed fruit juice I would suggest adding more hot water to the gelatine mix in step 1 and reduce the fruit juice amount in step 2. All up you should get approx 650 mls of liquid.
