Title: Blackberry Gels
Categories: Dessert
Yield: 6 Servings

4	c	Blackberries
3/4	c	Sugar
1/2	c	Water
1	tb	Gelatine
2	tb	Cold water

Wash blackberries and put them in a saucepan with sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook over a low heat, stirring frequently, until they are very soft. Strain the fruit through a sieve lined with dampened cheesecloth, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice. Bring the juice to a boil, but do not boil it.

Sprinkle the gelatine on 2 tbsp cold water to soften it. Then stir the gelatine into the hot juice until it is dissolved. Pour the jelly into 6 small molds or custard cups and chill them until the jelly is firm. Serve plain or with a little sweetened whipped cream on top.
