Hints, tips and variations
- In the past I could only get powdered gelatine and leaf gelatine was hard to find. Now I find the opposite is true so I have given the recipe with leaf gelatine.
- If you can only get powdered you will need one sachet. Sprinkle the sachet over 2tbsp of water in a small bowl and allow to go spongy. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir until dissolved. Add to the recipe in place of the soaked leaf gelatine. Given a choice I would use leaf gelatine over powdered as it gives a very clear, tasteless set.
- Sparkling wine gives a light tingle to the palate but you could use regular rose wine instead.
- If the strawberries are large, cut in half before adding to the glasses. If you wash the strawberries before use, make sure that they are completely dry otherwise you will end up with a less flavoursome jelly which may not set if it becomes too dilute.

Ooh these look like a delicious and slightly posher version of jelly and fruit Jacqueline. And I love the sound of the orange element in the chantilly cream too - perfect now that the summer has decided to appear 🙂

These as you say are the grown up version of jelly and fruit. I find adding little liqueur or orange zest to cream a great "cheat" to take cream that little more decadent and it so easy.

These look gorgeous! Using rose wine is such a fab idea.
Jacqueline Bellefonatine says
Thank you Kat. I will check out your linky too. Thanks for telling me about it. Jacqui x

This sounds lovely, I really love the taste of champagne soaked strawberries so I'd imagine that rose tastes just as yummy.
I completely agree that it feels like summer has started once Wimbledon is on - sadly the weather doesn't seem to agree!
Jacqueline Bellefonatine says
Ahh yes even by our usual standard summer does seem to be rather pants this year, does;t it. Still it's not over yet 🙂
