I just thought I’d make a note of the quickest pudding I think I have ever made that may be useful if you are having a bank holiday type gathering.  So here we go:

 Fizzy elderflower and strawberry jelly

•  Elderflower cordial
• Gelatine (get the veggie version if your guests prefer not to add cow to their pudding)
• Strawberries or any other fresh fruit you fancy
• Sparkling water

•  Cut up the fruit and pop it in a bowl
• Make up the gelatine as per the packet instructions
• Make up the cordial with the sparkling water
• Add to the gelatine mixture
• Pour over the fruit
• Leave in the fridge until set

 Et voila!

(Note: one pack of gelatine sets 1 pint of liquid.  If, like me, numbers get you in a muddle, make up 1 pint of cordial.  Add sufficient to the gelatine mixture to make up a pint in total and drink the left over (that way you don’t have to subtract the liquid in the gelatine mixture from the amount of cordial you need…)
