Feel free to use any other berries in this recipe. Elderflower would work very well with blackberries or blueberries in this jelly.

Recipe

Ingredients

500g fresh strawberries, halved
1 cup water
¼ cup elderflower syrup
2 tbsp gelatine powder
4 tbsp plain coconut yoghurt
Handful fresh mint leaves
Extra strawberries, for decoration

Method

Add strawberries to saucepan along with water. Bring to gentle simmer and cook for 5–10 mins, until strawberries have started to break down.
Remove from the heat and add elderflower syrup and gelatine powder. Mix together well and allow gelatine to dissolve in hot strawberry mixture. Strain mixture and remove strawberry pulp, leaving lovely pink strawberry liquid. (However, if you don’t strain it, there’s a rustic texture and it’s less wasteful.)
Allow strawberry mixture to cool slightly, then divide between 4 clear glasses. Pop in fridge and allow to set for minimum 4 hours, longer if possible.
Just before serving, top with coconut yoghurt, fresh mint leaves and additional strawberries.
