Let me guess, you dilute them too much, and that's because you have eaten half the pack of raw jelly by the time the kettle has boiled ? :p

-1 point due to the lack of cream on top though :D

Maaaaaaaaybe ;D

Hehehe!

Actually, I've tried doing it with a whole pack without nomming any individual cubes (it was pretty tough going. Required two months intensive training by Shaolin Monks at a temple in Ning Kong Pow to be able to fully resist.) and yeh... I think I didn't stir it enough as some parts of it was too liquidy and then the lower parts had weird jello lumps in. It actually put Picky off Jelly. Putting Picky off food is an achievement in itself really!

I obviously put too much concentration on the none nommingness and failed to follow through overall.

I will try again though! I loooooooooove the jelly!

PS. YAY for the bubba gump goodness :D

Pheebs can you try the crystal type of Jelly instead of the lumps?

Yup I use Jelly Crystals when making jelly, I normally buy this brand (http://www.veggiestuff.com/acatalog/just_wholefoods_raspberry_jelly_crystals.html) from Holland and Barratt (though you normally get it in lots of health food shops). You can't go wrong with them as they dissolve pretty much instantly. They do raspberry, stawberry, lemon and tropical flavours.
