So I made some jelly yesterday afternoon. I really fancied some and I haven't had any for ages so I made some. I thought I'd do a kind of fruit trifle (without sponge or custard) to try and spice it up a bit.
I put some pineapple, banana and orange into the jelly and placed the bowls in the fridge, ready to set. Four hours later.....still not set. Six hours later....still not set. Oh well, I thought - it must need to set over night.
I got home tonight and put my finger in the jelly, you'll never believe it - still not set!! So I checked on line (as I do if I don't know anything, what the heck did I do without the internet?) and apparently you can't put fresh pineapple in jelly, I never knew!
Something to do with the enzymes in pineapple, they don't mix well with jelly stuff. I like to think the pineapple enzymes are very posh and refuse to associate with the common enzymes in the jelly nightclub.
So I made another batch, this time with just banana in, and let me tell you, it was a big success, huge. Apart from jelly, I made a pie tonight, it was quite delightful.
I have to go and see if M can checked my ears. I've suddenly started hearing the 10 o'clock news as if it is read by robots. Of course, it might be, and that would be cool. But I also have a pain in my right ear so I'm thinking there's an issue. Not sure what M might be able to do about it, but it's nice to know I'm not alone in times of trouble, such as this one.
Sweet dreams peeps.
