Ingredients
6 leaves gelatine
570ml Asda No Added Sugar Sparkling Strawberry & Vanilla Flavour Water
¼ watermelon
¼ cantaloupe melon
¼ honeydew melon
Method
1
Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 mins until soft.
2
Pour a quarter of the sparkling water into a pan and warm over a medium heat until it begins to steam.
3
Remove from the heat. Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine and put in the pan.
4
Stir gently until the gelatine has dissolved. Gradually add the rest of the sparkling water, stirring, until there are no lumps.
5
Pour the jelly into 8 small jars or glasses and leave in the fridge to chill while you prepare the melon balls.
6
Curl all the melon into small balls using a melon baller or teaspoon. Put on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess juice.
7
As the jelly starts to set, gradually add melon balls to each jar a couple at a time, pushing them down through the jelly.
8
Return to the fridge and leave to set a little more, then add more melon balls until evenly dispersed through the jars. Chill in the fridge until the jelly is fully set.
