“Wibble wobble, wibble wobble…………………..jelly on a plate.”
Jelly:
350ml Cranberry Juice
15g Caster Sugar
250g Fresh Strawberries
100ml Pimm’s
2.5 Gelatine leaves
Strawberry Sauce:
150g Fresh Strawberries
25g Icing Sugar
Juice of a 1/4 lemon
Wash and hull the strawberries, place in a liquidiser and blitz to a fine sauce, pass through a sieve and set aside.
Vanilla Ice Cream:
250ml Guernsey Milk
60g Caster Sugar
1 Vanilla Pod (split lenghtways)
3 Free Range Egg Yolks
50ml Guernsey Whipping Cream
Decoration:
Slithers of peeled Cucumber & Apple
Freshly Picked Sprigs of Garden Mint
Whipped Guernsey Cream
Method:
Place the leaves of gelatine into a small bowl with 50ml Cranberry Juice. Leave to soften.
Bring to boiling point 150ml of Cranberry Juice with the 15g Caster Sugar.
Remove from heat and pour the hot liquid onto the soaked gelatine and stir until dissolved.
Add the Pimm’s and the remaining Cranberry Juice and allow to cool.
Pour a little of the jelly into desired moulds and allow to set in the refrigerator.
Build up the jellies by place some cut and washed Strawberries into each mould and adding a little more jelly, allowing to set at each stage until the moulds are full.
Chill the moulds for at least two hours.
To prepare the Vanilla Ice Cream, bring to boiling point the Guernsey Dairy Milk and Guernsey Dairy Cream together with the split Vanilla Pod, whilst this is heating whisk together the Egg Yolks and Caster Sugar until light in texture and white in colour.
Pour onto this the hot Milk, Cream and Vanilla.
Mix together with a whisk before return to a clean saucepan.
Cook this sauce very gently over a low heat stirring constantly with a spatular. Do not allow this to boil.
This sauce will thicken slightly as it cooks. Remove from the heat source, cool and place in an Ice Cream Churner and churn until a smooth Ice Cream is ready.
Set aside this Ice Cream until required.
Turn out the jellies from the moulds by briefly immersing moulds into hot water.
Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream, more fresh Strawberries, slithers of Apple, Cucumber and freshly picked sprigs of garden Mint.
