Fruit Jellies

Hello again

Just a quick recipe this time, quick, easy and tasty and you can tell your parents that it is healthy because it has fruit in it..... OK, OK, so it also has lots of sugar because of the jelly, but keep them focused on the fruit bit :0)

I (Mattie) really like jelly, as I can't have wheat or dairy it is a good choice of pudding for me.


Ingredients ( What it is made from )

1 packet of cubed jelly, your favourite flavour, Mattie used lime
1 pint water ( more about this in a moment)
1 small tin of fruit, or come summer time a cup of fresh berries
DO NOT USE PINEAPPLE as your fruit, the acid in it make the jelly unable to set, even if you left it somewhere cold for a whole week!

You will also need a kettle, a pair of scissors, a jug and either 6 glasses or small pots or a large bowl (depending on whether you want individual jellies, or a bowl full for sharing)


Method ( How you make it )

1)  Carefully use your scissors to chop up your jelly into small pieces, the smaller they are the less stirring you will have to do on the next step. Put the chopped jelly into your jug

2)  Boil up some water, and very carefully pour some onto the jelly up to the half pint mark and stir until the jelly cubes are all dissolved

3)  If using tinned fruit - open the tin and carefully drain the juice only into the jug with the hot jelly mix, then top up to the 1 pint mark with cold water.
If using fresh fruit, just top up the hot jelly mix with cold water to the 1 pint mark


4) Divide your fruit between your glasses/pots/bowls or put into your large bowl, don't eat too much whilst you are doiing it :)

5)  Pour over your jelly mix

6)  Leave to cool for an hour, then place in the fridge until completely set (firm)

7)  Enjoy!

I hope you like my easy peasy fruity squeezy recipe :0) Maybe you could put it into plastic pots to put into your lunch boxes? Let me know which fruits youu have tried.

Bye Bye for now
