Jelly
« on: July 01, 2012, 12:29:16 pm »
I made a trifle today with some left over TMX sponge cake and made raspberry jelly from a packet to go on top of the custard. I haven't eaten jelly for years other than on top of trifle and I  happened to lick the fork after I broke it up.
YUK! It had a nasty chemical flavour.

Next time, I'll be using some berries from the freezer and making my own jelly with gelatine sheets. Has anyone done this?

I don't know if this recipe would help MJ or this from Recipe Community.

I made jelly using the recipe from RC and found it pulpy and not sweet enough.  The family weren't keen at all. :-\

Thanks Judy and Chelsea. Yes, I can see that the RC recipe isn't sieved, so it wouldn't quite be jelly as I know it.

I was thinking along the lines of using the berry cordial recipe and reducing the sugar. I prefer to use gelatine sheets rather than powdered gelatine as they have no flavour at all.

CC, that is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you. I've copied the Raspberry and Orange Jellies and also her Savoiardi Biscuit Recipe.
I shall make sure that I leave a comment when I make the jelly.

Faffa, I haven't found a jelly recipe in ITM...

I'm making the Raspberry Jelly from the link CC gave. It's looking lovely. Does take a bit of time, though with the draining. You can't force it through or the jelly won't be clear.

I used to love jelly too! I guess my palate has changed since I've been making all the products that I used to buy.

There's a 'real fruit jellies' recipe in the 2012 calendar MJ.

Thanks deedub! I've printed it off.

My Raspberry Jelly was absolutely delicious. I'll never use bought jelly crystals again.

And to think, I used to sneak a spit coated finger into the packets and hope Mum didn't notice...
