VODKA-INFUSED SUMMER FRUIT JELLY RECIPE
Steps:
- 1. Divide the ripe fruit into 5 small glasses. If possible, arrange the kiwi fruit at the top. Pour a shot of vodka into each glass, and place all the glasses on a tray and chill in the refrigerator. 2. Put the vegetable gel powder in hot water (not boiling) and add sugar, stirring until dissolved. 3. Remove the bowl from the heat, and let it sit at room temperature for a minute or two. 4. Remove the chilled fruit, still in the glasses, from the refrigerator, and pour the dissolved mix over your fruit. 5. Some of the fruit might rise to the top, so using your finger, just push the fruit down into the jelly mix so that it is sealed and will then keep well in the refrigerator. 6. Place in iced bain-marie or in the refrigerator for an hour to set. 7. To serve, dip the glass in to a bowl of hot water to loosen the outside of the jelly, then turn it out onto a plate. On the plate put an arrangement of mixed fruit and dust with a touch of icing sugar. 8. Put the jelly in the middle and serve with cold cream to cover the bottom of the plate around the outside

Steps:
- First, use a serrated knife to cut around the flesh of your watermelon halves. Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to remove all the flesh, including the pips, into a large bowl. Transfer to a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.
- Strain the pulp through a fine sieve into a large bowl to extract all the juice. You should be left with about 800ml of watermelon juice. Meanwhile, put the watermelon halves in a medium roasting tin lined with kitchen paper. Make sure the watermelon fits in snugly so it's easily transferable to the fridge.
- Pour 50ml of the juice into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Once boiling, add the sugar and leave to dissolve for 2 mins. Once cooled a little, squeeze out the soaked gelatine leaves and stir through the warm watermelon juice to dissolve. Once fully dissolved, combine with the rest of the watermelon juice and add the vodka.
- Ladle equal amounts of the juice into each watermelon half. Transfer to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. When ready to serve, use a serrated knife to cut the watermelon into about 15 wedges. Serve with a warning: these contain lots of vodka!
