2 cups of water, stir in jelly using a whisk, and whisk for 2 minutes. Stick in fridge. End product looks like jelly, with the exception of a rougher surface.

It’s slightly wobblier than conventional jelly, so care should be taken while serving. Once in the bowl, it takes on the appearance of a conventional jelly.

In fact, once condiments have been applied in the form of fresh cream, I suspect no one would be the wiser to your subterfuge.

As for the all important taste test, I chose ‘Red’ flavour. I guess it’s strawberry, not sure since the pack is already in the bin. It’s ever so slightly bland, but still perfectly acceptable. The safety and convenience factor wins out totally!

Satisfied customer! And yes, I am eating from a pink bowl with polka dots on it. WHAT OF IT???

Slice an onion and some garlic

Sweat off the onion and some of the garlic

Brown some bacon bits

Dice your meat (I used chuck steak in the end since it was on special), season and flour

Chuck your bacon bits in the pot with the onion

Brown off your meat

Add meat to pot, along with:
1 diced carrot
1 can diced tomato
some chopped taters – i used a can of minted baby spuds in this case
remaining garlic
enough beef stock to cover (i used 500ml, prolly slightly too much in this case)
seasoning/herbs to taste

Also add secret ingredient of your choice

Bring to boil, then simmer till done. Add flour/cornflour as needed to help thicken.

Finished product!
