vodka jellies

[serendipity1]

i have my big 4-0 looming and have friends coming over for pre -club drinky poos and i would like to make some vodka jellies , does anyone know a fool proof recipe and method ? t.i.a. xx

I tried once, but by the time the kettle had boiled to make the jelly I'd already finished the vodka off!

Set the jelly in the freezer rather than the fridge - yum :-) x

hi champagne , yeah thats me!!! , but still dont know how to make them!!

[redcrx]

use half boiling water and half vodka. Melt the jelly with the hot water and then add the vodka.
Thats what worked for mine anyway. They did stick a bit in the plastic cups though.

tilly, still need to know how, sorry yes i do need detail by detail hun !! thanks x

thanks red , thats the sort of detail i need x

Use jelly cubes or crystals, mix the entire pack with 1/2 pint of boiling water and stir until they are all dissolved. Add 1/2 pint of vodka, mix it well and put it in the freezer.

That works if the instructions say to use 1/2 pt of hot water and then 1/2 pt of cold. Adjust it if the instructions say something different, but basically just replace the cold water with vodka, approx half and half

You can lightly oil the cups you use with a vegetable oil (not olive oil or any other flavoured oils as they will spoil the taste of the jelly)

I made them years ago once for a party. They are lovely.
I just followed the packet jelly instructions and replaced half the water with vodka.

:o)
