The Great Lemon Jelly Famine of 2012

Where can I get some lemon jelly?

I've tried all the usual suspects (ASDA, Sainsbury's, Tesco, etc.) but all they have is blackcurrant, lime, orange, raspberry & strawberry.

Hartleys do make it. See http://www.hartleysfruit.co.uk/range/hartleys-tablet-jelly/

I'd prefer the tablet type, but if crystals are all we can find, OK.

    The OSer in me says a good quality lemon squash (or lemon juice and sugar), water and gelatin, either granules or leaf.

    The inner child says NOOOOOOOOOOO! I love lemon jelly. They must not stop making it.
    Put the kettle on. ;)

    Make your own, definately. Easy and no additives either!

    And once you've got the knack, there's no end to the jellies you can make. Victorian milk jelly with a hint of lemon, anyone?

    As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll move it to the Grocery shopping thread :)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    You've started something now Stephen because we had some at Christmas but I can't remember where I bought it! I've gone through all of the old till receipts that I can find... surprisingly a lot since I hang to the Christmas ones in case of returned pressies etc Haven't found it yet but I'll be back.... :)
