Guest Tracker Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 After all these years I still learn something new every day! I have always enjoyed a nice jelly - more so with ice cream - yum yum yum - and I have now discovered the delights of fizzy jelly! Fizzy jelly - it's like unfizzy jelly but made with - err - fizzy liquid intead of plain dull old water, and it tingles on yer tongue in a magical way We used el cheapo lemonade and it seems to work well but maybe we will try more exotic fizzies as time passes. Now you lot are going to tell me that you have known about this for years I suppose and make me wonder about all those fizzless jellies that could have had a bit of - err - fizz?

It's a trade secret Maggy and if I told you I would have to shoot you and you are far too nice for that! Mind you there are a few on here who could do with a bit of hot lead poisoning sometimes!

Oh all right then - make the jelly with the minimum of boiling water and when it cools but before it sets add yer fizzy to make up the right quantity. Simples! We used to use a Pyrex bowl with measurements on it but that got broke and now we have to use the Fire King (for those old enough to remember) bowl so now it's 'pass the fireking bowl please' whenever it's needed! Get busy with the fizzy - remember that advert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna miller Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Vodka jellies are a tad tastier than lemonade, but remember to keep them hidden when the grandkids come round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyAndy Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I am guessing if you use the powder jelly rather than the normal block ones that would dissolve faster and would therefore need less water to do so. Got to try this my daughter will be delighted. Thanks Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The last time we tried powdered jelly it tasted like - er - powdered jelly, so we stick to the old fashioned time proven blocks with all it's artificial additives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If you don't want all those preservatives and additives make your jelly with gelatine. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to use the Vodka from around here, as it's mostly antifreeze so your jellies wont set:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 We used to make something as a kid called 'dunlowpillo', at least that's how it sounded! Anyway, we used to replace some of the hot water with evaporated milk ... it was absolutely scrumptious ... probably full of calories but who cares!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
