Makes: 24 – 30 (depending on the size of the mould)
Prep time: 40 min, plus time for setting
15 plums, halved and stoned
½ cup water
½ cup castor sugar
6 tbsp gelatine powder
Silicone mould of your choice
Non-stick cooking spray
Place the plums in a small saucepan with the water and simmer until soft. Place in a blender and process until smooth. Strain the liquid through a sieve and return to the pot (alternatively, if you have a juicer, simply juice the fruit and place in the saucepan).
Add the castor sugar and dissolve over low heat.
Sponge the gelatine in a little water, according to the package instructions.
Once sponged, place the gelatine in the warm plum liquid and stir to dissolve.
Pop out and enjoy!
Note
You can also toss the jelly sweets in some granulated white sugar to create an extra texture.
