Synopsis

ONE ALGORITHM: EXECUTED. FOUR TONS OF GOLD: GONE.

♨ Boozy Jellies

Happy 2017! New year, new type of post - as we tend to dabble with cooking. Quite a bit in fact, as we try to find ways to keep down our calorie intake, as well as our sugars and carbs, whilst increasing fibre and proteins.

During the Christmas period we tried to make boozy jellies using standard pre-flavoured gelatine packs from the supermarket but we were less than impressed with the results - with one pack the jellies were too soft and did not set, with two they set but they still broke whilst coming out of of their moulds. Worst of all they were absolutely jam packed full of sugar, 44.3 g per 100 g to be precise, providing a whopping 365 kilocalories per 135g packet / 570 ml of finished product! Sheesh!
