Pimms Cocktail Jellies

Serves 4

This is a nice refreshing, easy to make and easy to consume treat!

From a friend in Taunton, who is a diabetic herself.

Ingredients:

1 Sachet powdered gelatine

1 Large orange

1 Eating apple

Juice of 1 lemon

100ml Pimms

425ml diet lemonade

Mint sprigs to decorate

Pour 4 tbsp boiling water over the gelatine and stir until dissolved, then set aside.

Slice off the top and bottom from the orange, then slice off the skin taking away as much of the pith as possible. Slice in between each segment to release the flesh and place in a bowl with any juice that runs out.

Core and finely chop the apple and toss in the lemon juice to prevent it from turning brown. Mix into the orange segments. Divide between four serving glasses, or into one jelly mould.

Mix the Pimms with the gelatine and lemonade and pour over the fruit. Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours until set. Serve decorated with sprigs of mint.

This dessert would be perfect for a summer party or bbq and is the perfect jelly for grown-ups!
