Prep time:

Cooking time: 3 hours

Total time:

Serves: 4

200ml Elderflower Cordial

400ml Prosecco, Sparkling Wine or Sparkling Water

4 Gelatine Leaves

100g White Grapes/Gooseberries/Whitecurrants

The sparkle in the jelly can be from sparkling white wine, or from mineral water, but both versions include elderflower cordial. If you’re using homemade cordial, make sure that the jelly sets well – you may need to add some more gelatine, or use shop bought cordial.

  1. Soak the gelatine leaves in some water according to the instructions on the packet (5 mins or so).
  2. Bring the wine or water to the boil, add the soaked gelatine leaves, elderflower cordial and stir.
  3. Place the fruit in the bowl(s) you’re serving the jelly in, pour the jelly mixture in to cover the fruit and leave to set in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours (up to 48 hours) before serving. Serve with whipped or ice cream.
