Ingredients

  • 6 seedless red grapes
  • 1 orange
  • 50ml/2oz warm, b oil
  • 1 tsp gelatine
  • 100ml/3½fl oz orange juice
  • 2 large fresh mint

Instructions

  • Place six grape halves into each half of the empty orange skin. Place the skins into cups, a muffin-tray or similar, so that they cannot tip over.
  • In a bowl, mix together the warm water and gelatine granules and stir until the gelatine has completely dissolved.
  • Add the orange juice and stir well.
  • Pour the jelly mixture into each half of orange skin, almost filling the skins. Carefully transfer to the fridge and chill for 2-3 hours, or until the jellies have set.
  • Fold each mint leaf in half and pierce with a cocktail stick to make sails for the boats. Just before serving, push one sail into each set jelly.
