Method
- To make the jellies, put the gelatine leaves in a small bowl of cold water and soak for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, gently heat the sugar and 100ml water in a pan until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat and bubble for 2 minutes until syrupy. Take off the heat. Squeeze any water from the gelatine leaves, add to the syrup and stir until dissolved. Add a squeeze of lime. Pass through a sieve into a jug, then stir in the wine.
- Divide the peach slices (about 6 slices per glass) among 6 glasses measuring about 250ml. Pour over the jelly and chill for 2 hours to set.
- For the custard, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water (as in step 1). Heat the cream, milk and vanilla pod in a pan until almost boiling.
- Meanwhile, whisk the sugar and eggs in a bowl. Remove and set aside the vanilla pod from the cream mixture, then slowly pour it over the eggs, stirring with a wooden spoon. Pour back into a clean pan. Scrape any leftover seeds from the vanilla pod into the custard, then discard. Put the pan over a low heat and cook gently, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
- Squeeze any excess water from the gelatine, then add to the custard. Stir until dissolved, then set aside to cool.
- Once the custard has cooled enough to thicken, pour it over the set jellies. Top with lime zest, then leave to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- For your picnic, put the jellies in a cool box with teaspoons to eat with.
