Jaffa Jelly Filling
Extracted from a recipe for Jaffa cake on Food Lover website
- 1 Jaffa orange in pieces
- 90 g caster sugar
- 75 ml water
- 1 sheet leaf gelatine
- Red/yellow food colour
- 1 Tbsp Cointreau
Chop up the orange flesh and place in a saucepan with the 90g caster sugar and 75ml water.
Stir over a gentle heat until the sugar dissolves then bring to a simmer and cook for 20 mins.
Put the sheet of gelatine in a jug of cold water to soften for 10 mins.
Blitz the cooked orange mixture with a hand blender until fairly smooth, then to enrich the jelly appearance, add a couple of drops of red and yellow food colour.
Finally add the Cointreau and the gelatine.
Leave to cool and firm up.
