Just been to see Paranormal Activity @ the cinema and made some of these. Made lemon and lime ones and strawberry ones. They work well to pop in your mouth insted of high syn sweets / popcorn / choccie etc

Does anyone know of a vegetarian substitute for the geltain?

 

[Circes]

You can get vege-gel in large shops or agar agar also works
If you are struggling try a health food shop

[tara40]

i used to use one of my rubber ice cube mould. it was all little heart shaped jellies.

 

[JemmaBe]

What have I done wrong???
I've just done as per instructions but the mixture is just really watery? like jelly!
Do they set and turn more gooey?

Was hoping to make these for SW taster tomorrow so I've got loads of jelly packets now :'(

 

[Leeanne910]

Gonna try these today but before I make mistakes my oh only got the geletine sheets. How many would I need? X

 

[Circes]

You would need to work it out based on what it says on the packet

The powdered stuff says that one sachet sets 1 pint of liquid
The recipe uses three sachets so the equvialent of 3 pints of liquid

But this website says that 6 small sheets of gelatine is the equivalent of 3 teaspoons of powdered gelatine so by that you would need to use 18 sheets!

[tara40]

You only need to use 1/2 pint of water to make the sweets.

How long would these keep for in an air tight container?

 

[Circes]

Same as a jelly I imagine - two or three days would be fine I think
