I have just rediscovered jelly pots. they have fruit in and are in a fruit juice. and jelly I leave them in the fridge so they are nice and cold when I want one. 53cals. per pot.A few years ago when I was in hospital I practically lived on them as I didn't fancy food.

They're great when you want something sweet! I get some that are 10 cals each - no fruit in them but they're tasty enough.

I sometimes make a fruit jelly with a tin of fruit salad in fruit juice and low cal jelly crystals. very nice. what make are the ones you use?

Me too. That really hits the spot!

Hartley's, 50p each. There isn't much in them, hence the 10 cals, but they can satisfy a craving once in a while, very handy. I must say I like the idea of using a tin of fruit salad to make some, I dare say that's more healthy, if slightly more calorific.

Hi Betty,

Which flavour do you prefer best? It's many years since I've had any jelly! Your jelly pots sound more palatable than the type of jelly I had years ago.

Hope you're enjoying the weekend. I expect you've planned your holiday out by now.

Great to hear you've already booked your holiday - something lovely to look forward to! North Cyprus sounds good too!

Strawberry is a lovey fresh flavour - I love eating strawberries, so I can imagine those strawberry fruit jellies are delicious! I shall look out for them, and give one a go sometime.
