Jellied Fruit Cups

From KIDS LIFE magazine, December 2003

Adding the lemon juice to the cold mixture retains as much vitamin C as possible. The red berries have lots of anthocyanins - antioxidants that are very good for everyone's health, and also lots of fibre in the berry seeds. If children want to eat this dessert at home, suggest they have some plain unsweetened yoghurt or low fat icecream or custard to go with it.
( 4 servings)

¾ cup apple and blackcurrant juice
2 Tbsp sugar
1 sachet (10g) gelatine
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup frozen mixed berries
6 large strawberries, hulled and halved
1 banana, peeled and sliced

Heat together apple and blackcurrant juice and sugar in a small saucepan until piping hot or in a microwave jug for 2 minutes on high. Stir in gelatine until completely dissolved.
Add remaining ingredients, stir until thoroughly combined then spoon into 4 individual plastic containers to set.
Leave to set in refrigerator for approximately 2 hours or overnight if preferred.
