  • 1 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup apple concentrate
  • 6 gelatine leaves (gold strength)
  • fresh mixed berries to serve

Method

Sugar-free strawberry and apple jelly
  • 1
    Put the strawberries, water and apple concentrate into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes then remove from the heat. When cool, blend until smooth then pour the liquid through a fine sieve into a large measuring jug. (You will need 600ml of strawberry mixture for the jelly; top up with water if there is not enough strawberry mixture. Return to the saucepan and warm over a low heat.
  • 2
    Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for a few minutes or until soft. Squeeze to remove any excess water.

    Add the softened gelatine to the warm strawberry and stir to combine. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours until firm.
  • 4
    Layer generous spoonfuls of the jelly and mixed berries into six chilled glasses.

Notes

Not suitable to freeze or microwave Apple concentrate is a thick syrup, made by reducing apple juice to a sweet syrup. It gives a lovely aromatic flavour to the strawberry jelly and can also be lightly drizzled over a fruit salad or used to sweeten smoothies. Apple concentrate is available from most health food stores.
