Jelly….it is something my kids just love.

It was my sons Birthday, and I wanted to make something he really loved. Making jelly was just too plain & boring. Besides, it is difficult to serve to the kids…specially in a Birthday Party.

I had almost given up the idea of making jelly for the party…but then, I got an “Art Attack” and I came up with this idea of Jelly Boats. Needless, to say that my kids & all their friends were super excited to see the Jelly Boats & it was a super-duper hit!

I must say that, it is the easiest thing to make for a party…All you need is,

1-Pack of Jelly mix

1- Orange/Sweet lime(Mosambi)/Keenu (Makes 4 boats)

Method:

  • Cut the fruit in halves.
  • Scoop out the pulp.

  • Make the jelly as per the directions on the pack.
  • Pour it the “moulds”.
  • Refrigerate for 15 mins or till the jelly sets.
  • Again cut into two equal pieces.
  • Place the “Flags”…..and the boats are ready for the “Pirates”.

I suggest:

  • Make a firm Jelly. If the pack says take 3 cups of water, you should take 2 1/2.
  • Let the jelly cool properly or else it will not stay on the peel.
  • Let the kids make the “Flags”, they just love it when they get to participate in such activities.

Enjoy the excitement & smile on your kids face!!!
