Jelly Slice

“When I was growing up my dad and I loved jelly slice, we would get so excited when we would find it at fates and bakeries, so when I found this County Women’s association recipe I was so excited I could make it at home and realised how easy it was to make”

Base

1 packet of Marie biscuits finely crushed (I use a small food processor)

170g Butter melted

Filling

1x400g sweetened condensed milk

Juice of 2 lemons

3 teaspoons of gelatine

¼ Cup boiling water

Jelly topping

1x85g packet of raspberry or strawberry jelly

1.       Mix the biscuits and butter together and press firmly into the base of a square tin, (I use a 22 by 32cm tin) put in the fridge to harden.

2.       In a bowl combine Condensed milk, Lemon Juice and Gelatine (dissolved in the boiling water) then spread evenly onto the biscuit base then put in the fridge to set.

3.       Make up jelly as per the packet, cool then poor over the slice, (I pour the jelly over the slice while it is in the fridge otherwise it is difficult to take to the fridge without spilling)

4.       Chill until sett then cut into slices to serve.
