  • place PRE 45 minutes - plus jelly setting time

Serve in whichever pretty glasses you like - you'll need six to eight of them.

Method:

  • Make up the jelly according to the packet’s instructions: in my case, that meant mixing the cubes with 100ml cold water followed by 400ml boiling water, although I replaced the cold water with 100ml vodka.You may want a little more or less.

  • Pour the jelly into the glasses, more or less up to the halfway mark. Refrigerate jellies to set.

  • Pour some of the cranberry juice in a shallow bowl.

  • Cut the sponge fingers in half and dip each section quickly in cranberry juice to soften; do not leave them too long or they will break.

  • Place 2 – 3 biscuits per glass (depending on the size of your glasses) layering them on top of the jelly; repeat on each glass.

  • Add a mix of red fruits on top of the biscuits.

  • Squirt a layer of whipped cream on top of the fruit.

  • Decorate with more berries.

  • Best eaten on the day you make them.
