1. Soak the gelatine in cold water till soft (about 2 minutes). Heat half the lemonade until nearly boiling and remove from the heat. Lift the gelatine out of the water and stir into the lemonade until dissolved. Add the Pimm's, lemon and lime juice, and remaining lemonade. Pour through a sieve into a bowl and chill until set.
2. Lightly whip the cream and stir in the sugar and orange zest. Slice the strawberries and stir half of them through the set jelly. To serve, dollop some jelly in a glass then add more strawberries and some orange segments. Finish with a blob of the orange cream, a sprig of mint and, if you like, a strip of zest.

Know-how

Shortbread hearts make a cute partner for summery puddings. Sift 175g flour into a bowl, stir in 50g caster sugar and the rind of an orange, then rub in 100g Lurpak Unsalted Butter (at room temperature) until the mixture forms a dough. Roll out to 1cm thick on a lightly floured surface and cut into heart shapes. Bake at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

  Not a patch on the Champagne & Elderflower Jellies, elsewhere on this site. Katie - you really do need gelatine to get them to set, unfortunately vegegel (vegeatarian alternative) is not normally as effective.
