Preparation

Total time

Preparation time
10 Mins
  • 150g mixture of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries

  • 1 x 135g packet strawberry jelly

  • 285ml freshly boiled water

  • 285ml cold water

  1. Top and halve the strawberries and place to one side with the other fruit.

  2. Cut the jelly into cubes and add to a large mixing bowl.

  3. Pour the boiling water over the jelly cubes and stir briskly with a wooden spoon until the cubes are fully dissolved.

  4. Pour in the cold water and stir to combine.

  5. Pour 1/3 of the liquid into the jelly mould. Add 50g of the berries. Chill in the fridge for an hour or so (until loosely set), then repeat with another 1/3 of the liquid and another 50g of the berries. Chill for another hour or so, then add the final 1/3 of the liquid and the last 50g berries (doing this in stages means you'll get fruit suspended throughout the jelly, instead of all sinking to the bottom).

  6. Return the jelly to the fridge and leave to set for another 2 hours before serving.

You will need

Large jelly mould

Jug

Tips

Cut large blueberries in half if serving to babies or toddlers, to reduce the risk of choking.

Don't let your kids eat raw jelly cubes, as they can also be a choking hazard.
