Recipe for Blood Orange and Rosemary Jelly

A LOVELY, light, palate-cleansing dessert, this is jelly as it should be — wobbly, cool and not too sweet.

Blood oranges are one of my favourite things. These beautiful, blackberry-scented jewels are usually around from December to March, but they are at their best during January and February — just when winter seems almost too barren to bear. You will need about 10 oranges to obtain the amount of juice you need, depending on their size. As the flesh of blood oranges varies in colour and pattern, so will the depth of colour of this jelly.
