Sugar free jelly

[Unicorn]

The one thing I miss from Gibraltar is sugar free jelly sachets which I cannot find anywhere.

I think I have look in most supermarkets and also in Iceland but no joj.

Any ideas?

[LITTLEMO]

Over in Sept if you want me to bring some over. I'll be heading to Duquesa so it's no bother.

[Unicorn]

Oh wow. Yes Yes. Thank you. Please pm me if you don´t mind.

Can't you use Gelatin and make your own ?

[Manchesteral]

On the other hand you may not want to know what gelatin contains

[Unicorn]

Old animal bones, skin and other bits, I believe. Probably better not to think about it/

[Manchesteral]

That's basically correct !

[Nimrod]

you don't have to use gelatin,don't vegetarians use pectin?

[Manchesteral]

Is Unicorn a veggy ?

[Nimrod]

But a very kind person is going to bring some over for me.

It's got nothing to do with whether Unicorn is a vegetarian,a vegan or for that matter, a Venusian.
It was mentioned that gelatin is made from all sorts of animal snot and i was just pointing out that there is an alternative.
Nothing complicated about it.

[Manchesteral]

You're right, there's not are we done now ?

Have just been into Mercadona and in the area with the yogurts,Lo and Behold, sugar free jellies. They are also gluten free.

[Unicorn]

Thanks for that. I shall check out my local one.

Cheers

The results of the experiment are in.

I bought the sugar free jelly from Mercadona. It is in little pots and in in the chill cabinet, and just under a euro for 6. They do not have the sachets to make up at home.
Anyway, they have been tested and I have to report that they are not as nice as the UK ones, have a bit of a tinny taste.

My conclusion is that, on balance, I prefer the UK ones that you make up, but in an absolute sugar-free jelly emergency they can be a susbstitute.

My neighbour works at El Cortes Ingles so I am going to get her to check if they have them in the food store at Puerto banus, which is massive.
