Method

It is recommended to make these fruit jellies in individual serving glasses.

Put one third of the orange juice into a shallow dish. Soak in the gelatin leaves for about 10 minutes or until soft.

Over medium heat, simmer one another third of the juice into a small saucepan. Add the caster sugar and the softened gelatine, squeezing it first and reserving the liquid, and then stir to dissolve.
When the dissolved gelatine mixture has cooled to room temperature, add the remaining juice and the liquid from the squeezed gelatine, and give it all a good whisk.
Then pour the mixture over the fruits in the chilled moulds, cover, and return to the fridge to set - for at least 3 hours, preferably, overnight.
Before serving, unmold the jellies: dip the bottom of each mould in hot water, when it begins to melt, invert the jelly onto a plate. Garnish the top with mint leaves.
