I may well post again later, but my absolute favourite treat at the moment is a huge bowl of raspberry jelly. I have a jelly mould (which I love) that is pernickety about letting me turn it out (which I don't love). I use two packs of Hartley's, and it lasts me as a treat in the fridge for a few days. It feels naughty and frivolous, but is mostly water, and has the added benefit of being 0 calories. Plus it tastes lovely and is one of the few treats I really enjoy that remains unspoilt by a sore throat if you've got one (which I hope you don't).
Thus far I only eat the raspberry kind; I despise all citrus jellies. The colours, for one, put me off (even if they are natural, green jelly is just too swampy for me), as do the powerful too-sweet tangs that they have going on. I also don't like strawberry because I only came to strawberries as a fruit in my 20s, and have never quite got onto the whole processed strawberry flavour thing (except with fruitella. Fruitella is brilliant).
I haven't explored whether there are other options out there, but for now, raspberry is, for me, king among jellies. Because more kings should wear pink.
Happy Friday!
