OLD-FASHIONED ENGLISH SUMMER BERRY JELLY AND ICE CREAM!

Steps:

• Place the leaf gelatine in a shallow dish and pour over just enough raspberry juice to cover the surface. Leave to soften for 5 minutes.

• Halve the strawberries and mix with the other berries and soft fruits, crushing them slightly.
• Rinse 6 small jelly moulds or one large jelly mould, but do not dry as a wet mould will make it easier to remove the jelly when set.
• Distribute the fruit around the mould/s. Pour over around 300ml of the jelly juice and place in the fridge for an hour. When slightly set, pour the remaining juice into the mould and return to the fridge.
• To turn out the jelly, dip the mould/s into a bowl of hot water and run a knife around the edge of the mould. Invert them onto the serving plate/s, give them a quick shake and the jelly should slide out easily.
