Fruit jelly

2 cans of fruit with syrup
fresh mint leaves (optional)
1 tsp lemon juice
4 tsp of gelatine
4 tbsp cold water

Put the gelatine in a bowl and add water. Allow it to dissolve for a few minutes and then put in the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds.

Put the mint leaves in a container and the fruit on top. Pour the syrup into a separate bowl. Add lemon juice to the syrup as well as the dissolved gelatine and mix well. Then pour it over the top of the fruit in the container.

Place in the refrigerator until set.

* Use 4 teaspoons of gelatine for every 200 ml of juice. If the juice is less than 200 ml, make up to 200 ml with water.
