My children love the little pots of jelly that have fruit cocktail pieces in them, but I begrudge paying 50p+ for one small pot when I can make many more of them at home for £1.55.
*I will include prices from Tesco.com in this post. These prices are accurate at the time of posting.
What you will need:
- Make a home jelly pack (any flavour) £0.55p
- 1 x tin of fruit cocktail in juice £1.00
- Small dishes/ pots (even cleaned yoghurt pots would work)
You can use fresh fruit, but my daughter is adamant that only the fruit from a tin of fruit cocktail has the same taste and texture as the shop bought variety.
Method:
- Simply fill your pots half way with the drained fruit
- Make up your jelly to the instructions and pour over your fruit. Fill each pot to the level you want
- Place in your fridge to set.
- Once set, you can eat them as a treat or dessert. If you want to take them in lunchboxes, you must use pots with lids.
I made 6 pots for just £1.55. That is approximately £0.26p per pot.

I find it amusing that you call it jelly… In the U.S. we call it Jell-O. 🙂

We call pots “plastic containers” or “servings” in the West. And refer to it as Jello too. 😀
