ROOIBOS AND LEMON CORDIAL

NO-FUSS ROOIBOS AND CRANBERRY JELLY

This jelly contains less sugar than supermarket versions. We use cranberry juice and some of our homemade rooibos and lemon cordial – even the kids will love this jelly. Let it set in a bread tin and slice into portions for desserts, or let it set in individual jelly moulds.
