    That makes sense, but on the rare occasions I make jelly it is with gelatine-free granules which tbh is always on the watery side. I can't see how even a concentrated version of the jelly would withstand room temperature.

    Not a clue. I never make jelly, although have used the gelatine free granules in recipes on the odd occasion. Perhaps the gelatine jelly is a bit firmer? No idea, as I'm vegetarian and wouldn't use it. Actually had trouble getting the granules in the UK for a beetroot recipe, but ended up with some WeightWatcher sachets. Wasn't too enamoured at the time, so won't be bothering again. :(

    Here's a recipe I found for Jaffa cake cupcakes, which uses actually Jaffa cakes and marmalade. Looks a bit too sickly for my taste, so won't be making them!

    I saw some veggie gel crystals in a health food store today, different brand (but very bad memory for names, sorry). Might be worth checking out.

    Yum - have just made a Bakewell Tart, something I haven't made for years, and we've just had some for pudding.
    DH had his with ice cream but I had mine au naturel :)

    I use vege gel from Dr. Oetker if I'm making veggie versions of Jaffa cake cupcakes:

    - Line a tin or shallow tray with cling film, depending on how thick you want the jelly to set and how much time you have! Muffin tins and mini muffin tins work well for this, as well as minimal wastage.
    - I squeeze the juice of 3-4 oranges so I get about 150ml (doesn't matter if it's a bit over, but if it's under reduce the amount of vege gel).
    - Put in a saucepan, along with a tablespoon of caster sugar and slowly heat until it almost reaches boiling point.
    - At this stage, remove from heat and stir in a sachet of vege gel until combined.
    - Pour into chosen tin and immediately put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set (I make mine the day before to be sure)
    - Once set use a cookie cutter to determine size!

    Hope that helps!

    N.B. One sachet of this stuff is about the equivalent of 4 gelatine sheets

    How do you replicate the orangey element?

    You put a jaffa cake into each muffin case then cover in cake mix and bake, then i made an orange flavour icing with half a jaffa cake on top :)

    The chocoholic in me is purring :D Interesting pointless fact, for some reason Morrison's own version of Jaffa Cakes are vegan friendly. Just in case you wanted to know :rotfl:

    I disagree, it's important to me at least.
