Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

400g strawberries , trimmed and hulled
85g caster sugar
juice ½ lemon
2 gelatine leaves
50ml double cream
1-2 tsp icing sugar
handful blueberries , to serve

Steps:

  • Place the strawberries, caster sugar and lemon juice in a pan with 100ml water. Bring to the boil, then take off the heat and use a spoon to skim away any scum that rises to the surface. Press the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring jug. Fill the jug with boiling water to get 300ml strawberry juice.
  • Meanwhile, cover the gelatine with plenty of cold water, then leave to soak for 5 mins until softened. Squeeze out any excess liquid, add leaves into the hot juice, then stir until they dissolve.
  • Pour the jelly into serving glasses and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hrs to set. Just before serving, whip the cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Dollop over the jelly and sprinkle with the blueberries to serve.
