Method

  • step 1

    Blitz together the watermelon with the juice of the limes and caster sugar until completely juiced. Push the juice through a sieve into a measuring jug. Measure the amount of juice you have and soak as many leaves of gelatine as you need, using the ratio of 1 leaf of gelatine per 200ml. Dissolve the soaked gelatine in a little hot water from the kettle and add to the watermelon juice. Pour the juice into small moulds and leave to set overnight. Unmould the jellies and serve alongside bite-sized chunks of watermelon scattered with chopped mint and drizzled with honey.

As 'watermelons' come in various sizes, you need to know what ratio of watermelon you need to limes and castor sugar. Just to say '1' watermelon is unhelpful. Sorry.

I followed the geletine packet instructions for quantity as i've been caught out before by not adding enough. I figured they should know how much of their product would be needed and I added another couple of sheets for good measure but it still didn't set. I ended up using 7. I've since read in…

I had to add extra gelatine when I made this as it wouldn't set, but once it did it was lovely and refreshing after our heavy meal!
