Raspberry Jelly

Here's a thermo version of Bill Grangers fruit jelly from his new book 'Every Day'. I had the great pleasure of attending his book launch at Beaufort Street Books this morning and he proved to be a warm and genuine character! For this I used frozen raspberries as I had them at hand and fresh are too expensive in Perth. Add 150g each of frozen raspberries and raw sugar into the Thermomix along with 200g water and cook at 100 degrees speed 2 for 10 minutes with the measuring cup lid on. Blitz for 5 seconds at speed 5 then pass through a fine sieve to separate the syrup. Add back to the Thermomix weighing as you go, then top up with water to 500g in total. Add 2 tsp powdered gelatine and cook at 90 degrees for 5 minutes speed 3. Cool for a few minutes then pour into dessert glasses (or paper cups for picnic fodder) and chill at least 3 hours to set. I plan to top with vanilla icecream, a drizzle of rosewater syrup and sliced strawberries.
