this serves around 8 people

1 litre champagne (or cheat and use sparkling wine!)
1 1/2 tablespoons geletine
1 cup sugar
4 strips lemon rind
4 strips orange rind
1 2/3 cups small strawberrys, hulled
1 2/3 cups blueberries

1.pour 2 cups champagne/s.wine intoa bowl and let the bubbles subside.sprinkle the geletine over the top in an even layer.leave until the geletine is spongy - do not stir.place the remaining champagne in a large pan with the sugar, lemon, and orange rind and heat gently, stirring untill all the sugar has dissolved

2 remove the pan from the heat and stir until thoroughly dissolved.leave the jelly to cool completely then remove the lemon and orange rind

3 divide the strawberrys and blueberries among eight1/2 cup glasses or bowls and pour the jelly over them.chill untill the jelly has fully set. remove from the fridge 15 mins before serving


this looks really good if you serve in champagne/wine glasses - the berries rise to the top and the jelly is a wonderful champagne colour!

That sounds nice for a New Year's Day Brunch. I've just started looking at the recipe section, I may be able to throw out all my cookbooks.
