Tropical Jelly with Peach & Raspberry Coulis

Vegan

This dessert is easy to make but looks really impressive. Preparation is quick - just leave at least an hour for it to set. Agave syrup is a healthy natural sweetener - available from good health food shops and large supermarkets. NB. A coulis is just a posh name for a thin sauce!

Ingredients:

Jelly
500ml/18fl oz white grape or apple juice
1 sachet of Vegegel (eg Supercooks, from most supermarkets)
½ tin mandarin segments
1 large kiwi fruit
125g/4oz white seedless grapes

Coulis
½ tin peach halves in fruit juice (without added sugar)
50g/2oz frozen raspberries

Optional Agave syrup to sweeten - as indicated in recipe

Method:

1. Peel the kiwi, cut it into small pieces and halve the grapes. Divide the kiwi, grapes and mandarin segments between four bowls. Porcelain bowls are best if you want to turn the jellies out for serving.

2. Follow the Vegegel instructions to make the jelly with the juice. Add a little natural sweetener if you want.

3. Pour the warmed juice over the fruit and let the jellies sit in a cool place. Once they have cooled down, chill them in the fridge for one hour.

4. Meanwhile, to make the fruit coulis, blend the peach halves with a hand blender and set the puree aside.

5. Liquidise the frozen raspberries with a little of the peach juice. Both fruit purees are naturally sweet but you can add a little agave syrup to taste.
