Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 gelatine leaves
15g fresh mint , roughly chopped
1 pink grapefruit
100g small raspberries
2 peaches , peeled, stoned and chopped

Steps:

  • Soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water. Put on the kettle and when it boils pour 1 litre of the boiling water over the mint leaves. Leave to infuse for 5 mins then strain into a large jug. Squeeze the excess moisture from the soaked gelatine then stir it into the hot mint mixture until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Cut the peel and pith from the grapefruit with a sharp knife then cut between the segments to release them, reserving any juice. Cut the segments into about 3 pieces each then distribute the grapefruit, raspberries and peaches between 6 glasses. Stir any grapefruit juice into the mint jelly then pour it into the glasses and chill until set.
