Method

  1. Soak the gelatine for 10 mins in enough cold water to cover the leaves. Bring the milk and 50g sugar slowly to the boil, gently stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract or rosewater. Remove gelatine from soaking water, squeeze out water, then stir into the milk until it has dissolved. Pour the jellies into 4 x 150ml moulds, cups or ramekins. Cool, then chill until set, about 3 hrs.
  2. Halve and stone the apricots, then cut each half into 4. Put in a pan with the apple juice and 2 tbsp sugar, then bring to a simmer. Gently cook for about 5 mins until the apricots are tender, but not pulpy. Remove from the heat, stir in the raspberries, then leave to cool.
  3. Turn the jellies out onto 4 plates, then spoon compote around the edge.

    Just did this the other day, it was lovely. Though as I am a vegetarian I used agar powder instead of gelatine, and it worked fine.

    Easy peasy! Although I didnt serve it with any of the fruit, just a vanilla jelly on it's own was fine :)

    Excellent - an easy version of panna cotta! I serve this with fruit or with a fruit coulis, or even with a caramel sauce.

    Lovely alternative to the calorific cream version! We just had the jellies with a few raspberries, nice and simple. Glad I found this

    I made these as a dessert for a corporate 'Health Week' buffet. I used a fresh vanilla pod though to give an authentic panna cotta look. They went down really well.

    Is it possible to substitute the sheet gelatin for gelatin powder? If it is, how much would I need to use?
