The Christmas 2020 Jelly Box is now sold out, sign-up to our mailing list for the next edition drop.
Gin and Blackberry Jelly Cubes
A box of three gin and three blackberry cubes allow your wildest jellying dreams to come true.
Our gin jelly cubes are made using our own Saussure Gin, with notes of vetiver root, gentian root, violet and linden blossom. The blackberry jelly cubes are made with whole blackberries, gently cooked down to compliment the gin.
As with all Benham and Froud jelly cubes you can have your jelly in the fridge within minutes. Simply place the cubes in a microwavable measuring jug, power for 50 seconds until fully melted and top up to 600ml with water. Pour into the mould and approximately six hours later your jelly is ready to unmould.
However, adding water is just the starting point. The box contain three cubes of each flavour so there are all sorts of combinations to try.
Add chopped seasonal fruit for a luxurious set fruit salad. Or add some cream to the gin cubes and make a show-stopping striped gin panna cotta and blackberry jelly.
Raspberry and Mandarin Basil Jelly Cubes
The Christmas notes of mandarin complement a pure raspberry jelly made from whole raspberries gently juiced with sugar and lemon. The unusual combination of basil elevates these traditional flavours into something luxurious and intriguing.
Make an elegant pudding by setting the Mandarin and Basil jelly in the mould first before adding the Raspberry jelly. Or take things further by setting mandarin and raspberries in the jelly.
Jelly Moulds
For our first mould release we have worked on redesigning a classic mould from the archives of Bompas & Parr. When challenged by Heston Blumenthal to come up with the wobbliest mould for his Feast TV series, we eventually settled on our classic ‘cog’ design. The cog shape gives a superb wobble. For Christmas 2020 we’ve updated this design with a slight twist and a new 600ml size.
Recipe Booklet
The recipe booklet gives simple step-by-step instruction that will have you jellying in minutes. Whilst all Benham & Froud products can be made by melting the cubes in the microwave and adding water, that’s just the tip of the quivering iceberg. For each jelly set we’ll include three recipes to get your culinarily inspiration flowing.
