Method

  1. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes until softened then squeeze out any excess water. Put half the cranberry juice into a small saucepan with the sugar and heat gently until the sugar has just dissolved. Take off the heat and stir in the gelatine until dissolved.
  2. Pour the remaining cranberry juice, vodka, orange liqueur and lime juice into a large jug. Add the cranberry and gelatine mixture through a strainer and stir. Divide between 4 martini glasses and chill overnight. Decorate with berries and serve.

Know-how

Don't be tempted to up the alcohol as it could stop the jellies setting. These have quite a soft set as it is.

    Does anyone know how long these can take to set? We let them in the fridge last night and they have a consistency of syrup this morning. Should we leave them in the fridge all day for a meal tonight? Or write them off? Urgent advice needed ;)
