Method:

Place the clean washed fruit into a saucepan with the water. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 15- 20 minutes, or until the fruit is very pulpy. Strain the liquid but do not press the fruit otherwise it will make the juice cloudy.

Place the gelatine into a small bowl and stir in 2-3 tablespoons of water. Leave to stand for 2-3 min
utes.

Return the fruit juice to the saucepan and stir in the sugar. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat. Stir in the gelatine and simmer, stirring continuously until the sugar and gelatine have dissolved and are well mixed into the liquid. Remove from the heat and cool before pouring into a serving bowl or 4 -6 individual glasses.

Chill for several hours until set.
