|
| Ingredients:
|
| 200g
strawberries, hulled and halved (quartered if large) |
| 150g
raspberries |
| 150g
blueberries or red/blackcurrants |
| 1
bottle elderflower presse (1litre) |
| 6
sheets gelatine |
| mint
leaves, to garnish |
| |
| Method: |
1.
Soak the sheets of gelatine in cold water for a few minutes, until pliable
and soft.
2. Pour around a third of the elderflower pressé into a saucepan
and heat until almost boiling. Remove gelatine from the cold water, squeeze
out the excess and drop into the heated elderflower pressé. Stir
well until the gelatine is dissolved.
3. Add the remaining elderflower pressé and leave until cool. Then
pour approximately 1cm of the jelly into a large jelly mould. Place the
mould in fridge to set.
4. Once the first layer is set, arrange the strawberries over; add another
layer of jelly and place in fridge to set. Repeat this process twice more,
using the raspberries and blueberries/currants. Finish by pouring over any
remaining jelly then cover with clingfilm and chill for at least 4 hours
or until fully set.
5. When ready to serve, dip the mould in hot water then invert onto a plate
and garnish with mint.
