the good life: fruit jellys

first on my hit list is jelly
when No.1 child started eating solids
i thought jelly
and then discovered bought jelly is really mostly sugar
so i decide to make my own no added sugar variation

frozen blackberries
to 150mL of boiling water
add 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of gelatin (or vegatarian substitute)
(the more gelatin the firmer the jelly)
stir until dissolved
add pure fruit juice to make 500mL of fluid total
pour into serving containers with lids
add berries for variation and allow to set
keep refridgerated
i recommend to eat quickly where fresh fruit is used

blackurrant and apple jelly with blackberries
