Elderflower and Prosecco Jelly with Berries

This is a Jamie Oliver recipe, which is absolutely fantastic; you can make one big jelly or as I did 4 individual ones. To give you some idea, my glasses each hold 200ml of water and as I said I made four jellies.

Not the best picture in the world but you get the idea. My fruit still came to the top so I gave up! The jellies were going to be eaten later that day anyway so it didn't matter too much if they were covered in jelly.

When I make these again I will use another leaf of gelatine as the jelly wasn't set as good as it should have - don't get me wrong it wasn't that bad just could have been better. Mine were in the fridge from morning till night too.

Elderflower and Prosecco Jelly with Berries

This is a Jamie Oliver recipe, which is absolutely fantastic!
You can make one big jelly or as I did 4 individual ones. To give you some idea, my glasses each hold 200ml of water and as I said I made four jellies.  

ingredients:

Enough mixed soft fruit (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries) to fill your glasses.

4 leaves of gelatine - although I say 5 leaves

140ml elderflower cordial

2 heaped tablespoons caster sugar

425ml Prosecco (sparkling Italian wine), chilled

instructions

Put your ripe fruit, glasses and the wine into your fridge to get everything nice and cold.

Now, put the gelatine leaves into a dish with a little cold water to soak for a minute, then drain and add the gelatine back to a bowl with the cordial.

Rest above a pan of water over a medium heat and stir constantly until the gelatine and cordial become a syrup.

At this point you can add your sugar, stir till dissolved, then remove the bowl from the heat and let it sit at room temperature for a minute or so.

Time to get your fruit and Prosecco out of the fridge. Pour the Prosecco into your cordial mix, and then pour this over your fruit.

Some of the fruit might rise to the top, so using your finger, just push the fruit down into the jelly mix so that it is sealed and will then keep well in the fridge.
