Pimm’s and lemonade jellies

Ingredients

6 sheets gelatine

75ml (3oz) Pimm’s

375ml (113fl oz) lemonade

75g (21/2oz) strawberries

4 thin ribbons cucumber

4 small fresh mint leaves, to decorate

Method

Put the gelatine in a bowl, cover with cold water and leave to soak for 5 minutes.

Remove the gelatine from the bowl, and using your hands, squeeze out any excess water. Put the gelatine in a saucepan with half of the Pimm’s and simmer over a gentle heat, stirring, until the gelatine dissolves.

Remove from the heat and pour in the rest of the Pimm’s with the lemonade and stir until complete combined.

Divide between four small glasses. Chill for 10 minutes to set slightly. 

Halve two of the strawberries and reserve them to decorate. Slice the remaining strawberries and divide between the four glasses and pour the remaining jelly mixture over the fruit. Place in the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours.

Serve decorated with the reserved strawberries, cucumber and mint leaves.
