Cornish Mead Christmas Jellies with Cornish Clotted Cream
Method
Step 1
Place a freezer-proof glass jug in the freezer and clear a shelf in your fridge for the jellies to set.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, zest of 1 orange, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, honey and the cinnamon stick. Simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally before discarding the cinnamon stick. Pour into six serving glasses and set aside.
Step 3
Gently warm the cranberry juice in a small saucepan and stir through the gelatine until completely dissolved. Pour into the frozen glass jug, before adding the mead. Stir gently until combined.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into each glass, allowing space at the top. Chill until the jelly sets.
Step 5
Cut twists of orange peel. To serve, top each glass with a large spoonful of Cornish Clotted Cream and garnish with a twist of orange peel.
