Jelly

[bexmoss86]

I was just wondering,

Sometimes I find the taste of jelly made according to the package instructions too strong a flavour and I dont enjoy it and end up throwing it away after a few mouthfuls.

Answer me this....

If I made the jelly with more water than it tells me to, to make it a weaker flavour, will it still set properly?

Thanks a bunch x

I don't think it will set if you use more water
My mom used to make low cal jelly by using gelatine (you can get non-flavoured gelatine from the supermarket) and diet pop or sugar free squash

Hi, I don't think it will set with more water, but have you tried making it with half milk and half water, as that is really nice.

Thanks for the answers

And for the milk tip, ive tried doing it with a yogurt and that was lovely!

Im gonna get some gelatin and make a fresh orange one!

No I afarai it would'nt set. I eat mine with a yoghurt which helps take some of the sweetness away. It looks like a bowl of jelly an icecream and its really filling xx

I made one earlier using half/half water and light evaporated milk. Whisked it up with electric beaters until it doubled in volume and leave to set in fridge. Makes the most delish dessert with a frothy mousse on top and smooth milky jelly below
