.....Wibble, wobble, jelly on a plate! No idea where that song comes from but I always sing it when I make jelly!
I was getting bored of plain jelly with fruit in it so I played around and made some fruit fool type desserts.
I drained the juice from a tin of basics peaches and used it instead of cold water in making up the jelly (using a quarter less liquid). I pureed the peaches and mixed it with the jelly. I poured it into glasses to set.
This is peach and orange fool served with natural yogurt
What else could I make? I defrosted half a bag of frozen strawberries and blueberries, pureed them and added them to the jelly mix.
Voila!!
More sneaky ways to get fruit into the kids without costing a fortune ;-)
Brilliant ideas, although I think using the juice from the peaches would make it a little sweet for my rapidly fading sweet tooth.
ReplyDeleteI missed out on buying a bag of the Jelly Crystals I think they went on sale just after I placed an order.
That bag should last you quite a while :-)
We got them - and the kids ate some tonight made up with evaporated milk into a milky orange jelly thingie. Well they ate it all so I call that a win!!
ReplyDeleteOooo evaporated milk!!! Will def give that a go :-)
ReplyDeleteI used to do that using a Shirley Goode recipe. If you whisk up the evaporated milk and then pour in the jelly and leave it all to set it's mousse like and very yummy. I used to do that for my boys many moons ago.
