Sian's designer Jelly recipes written for Swansea Life Magazine's July edition.
"Possibly the most low fat and gorgeous desserts you can create are jellies and terrine's. I don’t mean the super sweet brightly coloured children’s jelly, that are a party treat for every toddler’s birthday, but the elegant and sophisticated desserts created at the height of summer when fruit is at its most flavoursome. You can easily create a show stopping wow dessert with very little skill. Making jelly takes patience to create layers rather than technical knowledge and skills in baking.
Fresh jellies are made with gelatine. Don’t be intimidated, buy sheets of gelatine from the supermarket, these are softened in cold water, then dissolved in warm water. A simple guideline is 4 sheets will set 1 pint of liquid. Adding alcohol to jellies alters the setting consistency so follow a recipe if you are an inexperienced jelly maker !"
