Pimm's cup jellies. Photo, Roberto Caruso.
Charming little jars are easy to chill and carry — and they give this picnic dessert a retro-cool vibe.
1 1/2 cups Pimm's Cup liqueur, divided
2 7-g pkgs gelatin powder, such as Knox
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 1/4 cups lemon-lime soda, about 2 cans
284-mL can mandarin orange segments, drained
1 mini cucumber, diced
1 cup sliced small strawberries
2 tbsp small mint leaves
BOIL 3/4 cup Pimm’s in a small saucepan set over medium-high. Remove from heat. Whisk in gelatin until dissolved. Scrape into a large measuring cup. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup Pimm’s and lemon juice, then add lemon-lime soda, pouring down side of the cup so it does not foam.
DIVIDE fruit among 6 250-mL glasses or jars. Pour in Pimm’s mixture. Sprinkle with mint. Refrigerate until set, 4 hours.
