A few weeks ago someone gave me a big bunch of rhubarb. I stewed it and put some of it through a sieve to give some rhubarb juice, which has been in my freezer ever since.
I love jelly, but I don't like all the artificially flavoured ones from the supermarket. So I've decided to make some proper jelly from the rhubarb juice, and use it make a Minimalist Trifle.
This morning I bought gelatin and strawberries (two big punnets for £1!). I have pureed some of the strawberries, which hopefully will take some of the edge off the rhubarb. I heated some of the rhubarb/strawberry juice, dissolved a couple of gelatin sheets in it, mixed in the rest of the cold juice, and the results are setting in the fridge.
Will it set? I have no idea... the gelatin packet is pretty vague on how strong the stuff is. I'll find out later!
