Topic: Jelly recipe Posted: 20 December 2006 at 4:27pm |
Okay I saw this recipe ages ago and cut it out from wherever it was, and now I can't find it! Anyone heard of a recipe something like this?:
You make about four or five different jellies with a bit less water than usual and extra gelatine in them, and basically layer them. So when the first layer is almost set you carefully pour the next jelly on top etc. You can apparently fit 4 or 5 colours into an icecream container easily. Once they are all set, tip out and slice, very pretty.
Someone wanna give me more accurate measurements?

I do them but basically put 3/4 of water needed (per instruction in pack)...may be a bit less even. Takes way too long but its worth it for special events!

I found it! lol
Here it is for anyone who is interested...
Jelly Fingers
5 different coloured jellies (or as many as you want to use)
For each jelly add 1 tbsp gelatine, 1 cup boiling water, and 1/2 cup cold water.
Make up the first jelly, with extra gelatine and boiling water. When dissolved, add the cold water. Put into an ice cream container, allow to cool a little, and then put in the firdge.
Make up the second jelly in the same way, and while it is still lukewarm (but not hot) add it to the first jelly already in the container, and then put it all back into the fridge. And so on...
An ice cream container will hold five jellies made in this way. When the jellies are all cold and set (make it several hours before needed, if possible), tip out on to a cutting board, and cut into "fingers", about 2cm square, through all the layers. They look spectualar when arranged on a glass plate.
Thanks Roksana, I was thinking it might be a relatively easy treat for New Years.

Would you believe our camera froze up last Friday and it's in repair... no guarantees we'll get it by the weekend and after that the shop will be closed from Christmas through to 3 Jan!!!  Not sure what to do about that.... I'm even considering getting a disposable camera to cover Christmas, we can always scan the photos!
