Lemon Jellies are fabulous to serve at a kids party, cocktail party or just to slurp
on anytime.  If you want an ‘adults only’ version – add some vodka!

### Ingredients

 * 5 medium sized lemons*
 *  Lemon flavoured jelly mix
 * Few drops of yellow food colouring

[[

### Directions

 * Cut the lemons in half very evenly.  Using a spoon, scrape out the contents –
   every last little bit of pith, seeds and juice until the lemon is perfectly white
   and even.  Place each lemon half in a muffin tin (don’t squash them down) so 
   that they will remain level when pouring in the jelly.  Then place the muffin
   tin on a large flat baking tray (you’ll see why below!).
 * Make up the jelly mix according to the instructions.  If making the ‘adults only’
   version, substitute part of the cold water for vodka.  Add a few drops of food
   colouring to make the jelly even more vibrant (optional of course).  Carefully
   pour the jelly into the halved lemons until totally full – if anything very slightly
   over fill them – the baking tray is there to catch the run-off.  Place in the
   fridge for four hours or until totally set (overnight is best).
 * To serve, get a very very sharp knife and run under hot or boiling water for 
   a few seconds, then carefully cut the halved lemon into quarters.  Enjoy!
 * You could also use oranges, grapefruit or even apples for this recipe!
