This recipe for reinvented fruit jellies is a much more interesting way to eat jelly, and one guaranteed to start conversation.

The recipe was created in the run up to Christmas day, as I had volunteered to prepare some light bites for during the day. As always, I was keen to impress, but wanted to create something I could also prepare well in advance, ready to take with me in the morning.

What I came up with tasted great, and most importantly of all – looked awesome – and went down a treat on Christmas day as everyone asked how they had been made.

The aim is to make little orange segments, and for the limes to look like little watermelon segments.

You are best to prepare these no more than a day in advance — as if you leave them too long, the fruit will start to lose its vibrant colour, and the tastes may become sour.

It’s also very fun to make, so try to rope in your significant other or some children to help!
