Jelly portions
How much is a portion of jelly and/or how many can be got out of a litre of jelly?

Re: Jelly portions
I suppose it all depends how much vodka you put in them

Re: Jelly portions
We've always counted 8 portions out of a litre. (Without vodka...)

Re: Jelly portions
but don't packets of jelly powder (I use vegetarian jelly) come in 1 pint servings, I just looked that is a four person serving, so a litre of jelly should serve more than 8 people unless the person doing the dishing out is sucking up a bit extra

Re: Jelly portions
Well - one pint is a lot less than one litre, so if you calculate roughly one litre = two pints, you get your 8 servings from a litre... If your lot like their desserts, I would say six servings in a litre. At home, our family of 4 only ever got a half litre jelly (no pints in Germany!), but then of course that came with vanilla sauce.

Re: Jelly portions
I can't stop thinking about jelly now. I have been known to make a pint and eat it all to myself (shame smiley)

Actually, I'd love some jelly... Too much sugar.
I used to buy the vegetarian stuff - just as much sugar, but at least no nasty chemicals - and I used to mix that with rhubarb or berries of whatever kind. Makes it less sweet, and does taste rather nice.

Re: Jelly portions
Why not buy leaf gelatine (or veggie alternative) and make your own from scratch with fruit juice or something? I watched something where James Martin made one with whole raspberries and some form of cordial/liqueur (sorry I'm so vague, it was a while ago) and he layered it so it was a bit like a fruit terrineina wrote: Actually, I'd love some jelly...

Re: Jelly portions
I used to make my own, but it seems to be difficult to get gelatine here. Bought some at the Polish shop (that was the first time I found it), but the instructions on it are rather vague, and the one time I tried to use it nothing happened - it simply didn't set.
