Sandra O'Connor of Barden Ridge NSW wrote to us for help with a jelly that just won't set!


Sandra writes, "Would someone be able to tell us how to set kiwifruit in jelly, we have tried various ways and the jelly just won't set. "

We asked our friends in the test kitchen and here's our experts answer:

"There is an enzyme in kiwifruit which inhibits the setting properties of gelatine - for that reason it is not recommended for jellies or jams, however if you have to make a kiwi jelly try poaching the kiwis first - before adding one and half times the gelatine you would normally use for that quantity of fruit. "

Good luck Sandra!
